| The Carmel
Hill Fund Education Program is a nonprofit organization
whose mission is to foster the love of reading in
children by providing educators with the means to
improve their students' reading ability. Carmel
Hill believes that reading is not only an educational
skill, but also a tool that children can use to
enhance their lives beyond their circumstances.
We believe that reading is critical in enabling
children to express ideas, share experiences, and
formulate a point of view.
Carmel Hill achieves its mission by forming partnerships
with schools. Carmel Hill's principal focus is
its provision of the Accelerated
Reader program to its partner schools. During
the 2007-2008 school year, over 30,000 students
are participating in Accelerated Reader through
Carmel Hill's partnerships. The Carmel Hill Fund
Education Program has three large projects across
the nation:
New
York City Monroe,
Louisiana
Denver, Colorado
In addition to funding Accelerated Reader, Carmel
Hill supplies its schools with books and computers
so that children can take
quizzes easily and efficiently.
The Carmel Hill Fund Education Program hopes to
strengthen the impact of Accelerated Reader in
its sites by funding the following extended programs:
