Education Connection was launched by HCBC in Naumann Elementary 16 years ago.  It has grown to 72 participating churches within Christ Together Greater Austin across 18 school districts and 121 Elementary Schools. 

1. Prayerfully consider serving 30 minutes a week to read with and encourage two students thru the coming school year and be Jesus to them.  You can choose to ready at any one of the 121 participating schools.  In the state of Texas, 47% of all students are below grade level in reading and language arts. 
2. Use your time in the school to encourage, pray for, leave notes and/or goodies, scripture passages, invite them to church, etc. with faculty, staff and administration and other literacy partners who may not have a church home. 
3. Registration open today, August 10^th , to serve for the coming year (education-connection.org), but know that some districts, including LISD, may not start training and reading until the end of September to allow teachers to pre-test students to determine who will be assigned  literacy partners.

You can also give to support the work in education and other community impact initiatives.  Your giving helps provide the Education Connection Program across the region but also to help other initiatives in education like backpacks filled with school supplies for 3,000 students living below the poverty level and Heart2Heart/Braveheart after school programs.  Thank you for your support to take Jesus Christ into our public schools.
