Members of the Baldwin Wallace University community have been working on projects to promote literacy and education among young people in Northeast Ohio. The outreach includes construction of a miniature library and a partnership with
The
2nd
&
7
Foundation's
goal
is
to
reach
out
to
kids
while
they're
young
and
encourage
them
to
start
reading
by
having
role
models
visit
their
schools,
give
them
free
books
and
personally
spark
their
interest
in
reading.
海角社区's Center for Coaching Excellence and Department of Education partnered with the foundation to provide 海角社区 students with service and experiential learning opportunities.
Thanks to 海角社区's involvement, more than 25 students have volunteered to reach out to schools in the Cleveland area to nurture a love of reading in second graders.
Students

海角社区's

built,

and

a

playground.
The
small
stash
of
free
books
stands
to
foster
reading
and
instill
an
interest
in
math
in
children
who
visit
the
playground.
Books in the little library, including "The Greedy Triangle" and "Zero the Hero," have a mathematical theme to promote learning through easy-to-read and digest stories. The small red and white cabinet at the playground features 海角社区's name on the side.
