Our Vision
 

We believe that an engaged Winchester community working together is the best way to ensure our youngest community members to have the tools and support they need to succeed in school to succeed in school and graduate to become productive and active citizens.

 

Research shows that third grade is when classroom learning shifts from learning to read to reading to learn. Reading at grade level by third grade is a good predictor of future academic success, empowering students to  master the more complex subject matter in the grades that follow. As a community-driven initiative, WCGLR partners closely with key community stakeholders to serve families and educators in our community, provides resources to parents and local organization, and shares information to help our partners raise awareness about wins and opportunities to help us work toward a bright future for all our students.
