The Vicki Soto Memorial Fund has significantly benefited teachers in the tri-state area by providing them with a diverse selection of books for their classrooms. This initiative has dramatically extended Vicki Soto’s library, allowing hundreds of educators to acquire thousands of books, promoting early childhood literacy.

 

The program gathers gently used children's books and redistributes them to teachers in need. Our dedicated literacy committee efficiently organizes and sorts these donations, making a meaningful impact on students and educators.

 

The Vicki Soto Memorial Fund has proven to be an invaluable resource, enhancing literacy in the classroom. Early childhood literacy lays the groundwork for future academic achievement. Research indicates that children exposed to reading develop better cognitive skills, language proficiency, and a lifelong love for learning. Additionally, early literacy fosters social and emotional development by encouraging positive interactions and empathy. Initiatives like the Vicki Soto Memorial Fund are essential in ensuring all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status, have access to books and the opportunity to thrive.
