OMAHA, Neb., Monday, Dec. 16, 2024 – Scooter’s Coffee partnered with Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) to bring the joy of reading to elementary students last week. Joe Thornton, CEO of Scooter’s Coffee, visited a Dallas area elementary school Friday to both share his love of books and the importance of reading with students.
According to RIF, 25 million children in the United States are unable to read proficiently, and 1 in 3 children entering kindergarten do not have the basic skills needed to learn how to read. RIF is one of the nation’s leading children’s literacy nonprofits focused on dedicated programs and resources to tackle the nation’s literacy crisis.
Thornton visited Caroll Elementary School in Frisco, Texas, as part of Reading Is Fundamental’s “Books for Ownership” program. After Thornton read aloud to students who attended, each student left the book celebration event with three new books of their choice to keep and read with their families.
