Everybody Wins! Iowa receives
Warren County Philanthropic
Spring 2014 Grant Award 
                                                                          
We want to give a big THANK YOU to the Warren County Philanthropic Partnership (WCPP). They contributed $3,850 for us to continue to expand our programs in Indianola and Norwalk! We are so appreciative for their support and enjoyed the reception at the Randleman House in Carlisle on April 24th.
Year-End Celebrations 
During the week of May 12-16, Everybody Wins! Iowa had year-end celebrations. We were able to give each student a new book. We were also able to give our 3rd-5th graders a comic book from the generous donation we received from Des Moines area comic book stores.

Message from the Director:

We are celebrating another great school year of programming in providing reading mentors to over 500 students this school year!  As we wrap up, we are ever so grateful to all who support Everybody Wins! Iowa. 

 

We are gearing up for exciting summer programming with community partners and invite you to join us this summer to continue reading and mentoring with a student; to join our book event on June 20th at Barnes and Noble in WDM; and/or to support us through Birdies for Charity, Color Run, or an online contribution.

 

Now is a great time to learn more about us and how you can join us in increasing children's success in school and their love of reading!

 

Thank you for your continued support!
