Successful Clear Brook High School Program fosters love of reading
The “Read What You Want” program at Clear Brook High School was started last year with a grant from the Clear Creek Education Foundation. The program which is the brain child of CBHS Librarian Camille Sullivan has been a huge success in getting students interested in books and reading outside of the classroom. Over 570 students participated in the program where students were allowed to read books they wanted to read and then engage other students and participating teachers in discussions about the books. The idea was to promote reading for enjoyment. She received numerous requests for books and series not available in the school library. Sullivan would purchase those books using funds from the grant to make sure the kids stayed engaged.
The first year of the program exceeded Sullivan’s expectations and she was looking for a way to reward students for their efforts. She approached Deanna Law, the store manager of the Kroger on FM 518 & FM 2351 to see how the store could help reward the students. Deanna and several volunteers from the store’s community outreach group served the students ice cream sundaes with all of the ice cream, toppings and labor donated by the store.
Since being founded 20 years ago, the education foundation has funded over $1.5 Million in innovative CCISD programs. This year the foundation received over 130 grant requests. The foundation is looking for community partners to invest in funding available grants.
