A classroom is more than just four walls. It is a place where confidence is rebuilt, opportunities begin, and lives change.
Last week, we came together to celebrate the naming of the Ivy Abrams Classroom, where adult learners will strengthen their
reading, writing, and comprehension skills. For many students, taking that first step into a classroom again can feel overwhelming. But spaces like this help create encouragement, dignity, support, and hope.
You can support us in continuing this mission. Head to literacychicago.org to get involved today.
Local flower shop Ella's Essence has been creating magical blooms for our annual gala the last three years, and she is ready to bloom with us again next month 🌻
Hear from Ella herself on the mission behind her shop and why she supports organization like Literacy Chicago. Still haven't bought your tickets to Literacy in Bloom? There is still time! Click the link below to get yours today.
