It was our honor to collect books for donation to Brilliant Detroit in 2022! You can read more about their work below.
Watch this space for our 2023 Day of Service project!
Supporting literacy during March is Reading Month and all year long!
We're excited for our 2022 Day of Service and the opportunity to promote a love of reading in children. We'll be doing that in two ways all through March is Reading Month:
- Volunteer virtual story reading - The Michigan PTA Board of Directors members will be recording themselves reading a children's book to be housed in the Brilliant Detroit digital library. This will contribute to their goal to increase access to books for kids and the work they're doing with the United Way for Southeastern Michigan's Read United Campaign! If you would like to record a book or learn more about Brilliant Detroit we've added a link at the bottom of this page.
- Book Donations - The Michigan PTA is collecting book donations for Brilliant Detroit through an Amazon Wish List. If you would like to donate a book from a list curated by Brillant Detroit visit the link below. Brilliant Detroit strives to increase kindergarten readiness, assure grade level reading by third grade, increase social connectedness, mobilize neighbors and stabilize neighborhoods.
PTA has been making a difference for 125 years and there’s still so much work to do to make every child’s potential a reality! That means working together to meet the diverse needs of families and school communities. The PTA Day of Service is an opportunity for your PTA to continue that work and your service project will tell the PTA story!
