THE KNOWLEDGE SHARING WITH STUDENTS DURING THESE PROGRAMS ALLOWS THEM TO GET BACK ON GRADE LEVEL AND PROVIDES THEIR PARENTS WITH STRATEGIES THAT THEY CAN USE AT HOME. THE PARENTS ARE ALSO GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP FOR OUR ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMS DURING THESE EVENTS.FAMILY LITERACY ALSO HAS A PROGRAM FOR PRE-SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PREPARE THEM TO BE KINDERGARTEN READY. OUR IMAGINATION STATIONS ARE HELD IN LOW-INCOME AREAS AND AGAIN THE CHILDREN AND PARENTS LEARN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF READING. AT ALL OF OUR FAMILY LITERACY EVENTS, THE CHILDREN GO HOME WITH THE BOOK THAT WAS STUDIED. FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WE HAVE STARTED ADULT BOOK CLUBS WHERE STUDENTS READ CONTEMPORARY YOUNG ADULT FICTION WITH THEMES THAT STUDENTS TODAY FIND RELATABLE TO THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES.

THIS PROGRAM FOSTERS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND A SHARED EXPERIENCE FOR THE STUDENTS. 164458 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 TN X X JOLENE RADNOTI 6157387323 PO BOX 12161 MURFREESBORO TN 37130 PHIL BARNETT PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CARTER OWENS VICE-PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER FOUTCH TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MEREDITH THOMAS SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC GRAY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY GASTELUM BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY BROWN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROMEL MCMURRY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW PATTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHELBY SMITH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MAGGIE RICHARD LEE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRETT MCARDLE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAIGE MITCHELL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOLENE RADNOTI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 58968 0 0 58968 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23000 56092 16033 203042 3325 298167 73 73 11478 56092 11478 0 298240 73 0 0 66501 36576 16625 13300 92435 50839 23109 18487 5013 2757 1253 1003 1455 1455 1552 1552 3248 3248 14635 7231 7404 4243 4243 19200 17280 1920 500 500 1401 1401 BOOKS AND MATERIALS 39579 39579 FOOD, DRINK, MEALS 4043 4043 ADMINISTRATIVE: PAYROLL 1651 1651 AWARDS AND RECOGNITION 768 768 926 486 440 257150 164458 59902 32790 3 45185 86772 7500 7500 500 0 45685 86775 123 123 123 123 X 45562 41652 45000 45562 86652 45685 86775 41090 0 X 0 0 0 X 215034 235179 233678 194484 298093 1176468 215034 235179 233678 194484 298093 1176468 221377 955091 36 182 149 146 73 586 1177054 0.81140 0.81830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 7500 7500 0 0 CELEBRITY BEE 67570 56092 11478 4020 4688 2770 67570 56092 11478 4020 4688 2770 11478 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE GIVEN A COPY OF THE 990 A FEW DAYS BEFORE FILING EITHER THROUGH THE MAIL OR THROUGH EMAIL.
