From one basement to four schools
Bright Pages started when a retired teacher noticed the same six kids falling further behind in reading every year and decided a folding table in a church basement was better than waiting for a program that might never come.
A decade later we operate inside four elementary schools with the district’s blessing, because meeting kids where they already are removes the one barrier - a ride after school - that used to end most families’ participation before it started.
We are five staff and around ninety active volunteer tutors in a typical season. Every tutor passes a background check and completes the same four-hour training before being paired with a child.
