Westcott Elementary gets a Little Free Library presented to the school, by Northern Trust Community Affairs team. They are a work in progress! We are well on our way to present in total ten (10) Little Free Libraries sprinked across the 17th and 21st Wards, so stay tuned.

Also at Westcott was the United Way Neighborhood Network, Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation's new network partner. All three organizations too the time to visit pre-K through 3rd graders and participate in a reading day. The reading skills of the young studnets, who participate in a program designed by the Children's Literacy Initiatie (CLI), was extremely impressed!

Take a look at the fun and exciting community engagement at our
Westcott Elementary, Auburn Gresham GOLD School.

The effort to donate the LFL begin with a desire for Northern Trust employees to do a little bit more hands on for the community during National Literacy Month.
