NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2024 / International Paper Company:
Our "spokestree" Pinelope joined International Paper (IP) team members at a local school to promote literacy with?Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). We believe reading is fundamental, and it looks like these kids do, too!
For more than six years, RIF and IP have partnered to provide 640,000 books to more than 285,000 children across the country to inspire excitement and joy around reading through RIF's flagship Books for Ownership program.
Students at Harriet Tubman Elementary School gathered in the library to hear their favorite books read aloud. After story time, each student picked out their very own books to take home.
Education is one of the signature causes we support to make a difference in our communities. We focus on literacy from birth through third grade because reading skills form the foundation of all childhood learning. Through our partnership with RIF, more than 400 schools have received books to fuel students' imagination through reading.
