The Verizon Foundation continued its ongoing support for the Plano Family Literacy Program with the recent presentation of a $10,000 grant.

This is the third year that the Verizon Foundation has presented a $10,000 grant to this program. As part of the district’s Student and Family Services Department, the Plano Family Literacy Program works with children and families to support the mission “of building healthy families by working with the entire family.”

“The grant monies pay for reading books in the classroom and book clubs and instructional reading materials,” said Jane Lilliston, Plano Family Literacy program coordinator. “It’s wonderful to have received the grant again because we see day to day how much literacy can help people’s lives.”
