READ 100 Program

SWRC, Bristol Virginia Public Schools, and Boys & Girls Club of the Mountain Empire have teamed up for READ 100. This partnership encourages children attending the Bristol location Boys & Girls Club to READ 100 books during the month of July. Bristol Virginia Public Schools furnished over $1,000 worth of new books to the club. Members of the SWRC, faculty from Bristol Virginia Public Schools, and Boys & Girls Club staff members read to and with children during this program. Children may read to others, be read to, or read with someone as part of their goal. Each weekly goal of 25 books is rewarded with field trips and other incentives. We're proud to promote summer reading!
