Pioneer Park Elementary School

 

1,575 books

delivered to children at
Pahokee Elementary School

That’s what StoryBook Treasures and JustWorld International have teamed up to deliver this school year to elementary students in the Glades region of Palm Beach County, Florida. The beloved, classic children’s volumes, which come with small toys and reading comprehension guides, are often the only books in the homes of children attending these Title 1 schools.

It’s all part of a strategy to establish home libraries and nurture a love of reading, both of which radically impact a child’s academic success and future.

According to the World Literacy Foundation, exposure to new ideas and vocabulary offered by books in the home has a profound impact on students. A home library:

  • Fosters a love of reading 

  • Promotes mental health and empathy

  • Ensures students continue learning over school breaks

  • Inspires the pursuit of further education

We’re proud that our work with StoryBook Treasures at Pioneer Park and Pahokee Elementary has contributed to awards such as Pioneer Park being declared an Imagine Nation’s School of Excellence for 2024-25.

Be part of JustWorld’s impact on these young students, their families, their communities and their futures.
