The Summer Reading program was outstanding! 17 children participated in a variety of literacy activities. Many thanks to our volunteers who worked with the students. We look forward to renewing the after school reading program at PCK in the fall.
Literacy volunteers provide a short story time for the children ages 5-8 prior to the distribution. Each child also receives a book. After the story, the children join their families to participate in the clothing distribution. Some of the stories read are Pete the Cat, Marley the Dog and Biscuit the Dog.
Rim Literacy is no longer providing English language classes or GED preparation classes.
Contact Gila County Adult Education to enroll in any adult education class.
There are morning and evening classes for both beginners and advanced students.
