This summer 20 Decatur kids enjoyed a free reading camp as they helped 16 committed public school teachers practice proven reading methods during a training offered by REAP. REAP is a Decatur-based non-profit that improves reading proficiency in public school students through free teacher training and enrichment. DEF is proud to support REAP with grant funds that helped cover the cost for this summer experience – a win/win for teachers and for Decatur kids.
