Angels Encourage a Love for Reading in Elementary Schools

For 100 years Pi Beta Phi has focused its philanthropic efforts on literacy.  Kansas Beta hosts three philanthropies throughout each school year to benefit literacy and support Read. Lead. Achieve. and First Book.  In addition, we participate in a monthlong community service project in the spring semester called Champions Are Readers (CAR)  where members of Kansas Beta visit elementary schools in the Manhattan community.  This year we had a great time laughing, reading, and teaching 3rd graders from both Marlatt Elementary school and Bluemont Elementary school!  We're looking forward to our next project in 2013 and continuing to spread the importance of literacy to a new bunch of students.  Thank you to all the Pi Phis who made a difference in their lives!

"I love to read!"
