PHOENIX â It s a corporate-community partnership that is giving children in underserved Phoenix communities the gift of reading.
When Microsoft put up $15,000 in grant money, community organization Jack & Jill Phoenix Chapter jumped at the chance to purchase books for children.
In late March, Jack & Jill presented the big check to staff and students at Rancho Santa Fe School in the Litchfield Elementary School District.
Jack & Jill Phoenix Chapter President, Jo Anne Curry, was excited to provide first- and second-graders a tremendous head start on their journey to reading.
