Inspiration Award from the First Minister’s Reading Challenge
We are so proud to have received a Highly Commended Reading Inspiration Award from the First Minister’s Reading Challenge!
On Monday we received this exciting recognition during the FMRC event at The Hilton in Glasgow. We took our 10 Literacy Leaders to showcase our reading journey and by request, a “pop up book bar!” We cannot wait to continue our Reading Challenge journey and our focus of Mental Health and Well-Being.
