Program History:
Reading Partners was founded by three community leaders committed to improving children's literacy and life opportunities. In 1999, Mary Wright Shaw, Molly McCrory and Jean Bacigalupi launched the program at Belle Haven Elementary School in Menlo Park. Reading Partners would not exist today without the founders' vision, passion and talent to mobilize a community.
Reading Partners expands outside of the Bay Area to three schools in Los Angeles (Washington Accelerated, William Green & Aspire Clarendon).
The program also expands to additional San Francisco, East Bay, and San Jose schools (Sherman, Think College Now & Los Arboles).
Reading Partners is recognized for its distinguished contribution to education in the community with the Mountain View Mayor's Award for Reading Partners at Castro Mariano Elementary School.
