Dear Read Aloud Delaware Stakeholder,
As I enter my 4th year as executive director of this great organization, I am thrilled to unveil our new logo! Our intent was to incorporate the same elements of our previous logo with a slight refresh.
In addition to our new logo, our board recently approved a new strategic plan which incorporates some of our new program elements (such as LENA Start, which has served over 140 families in English and Spanish since 2020!). We have also updated our Mission and Vision statements to encompass the new programs that we offer:
Our Mission is to create a life-long impact through early childhood literacy.
Our Vision is that children across Delaware will have the foundational literacy skills to succeed in school and life.
Further, our new core values, acknowledging that Read Aloud Delaware is an amazing community who are guided by the following:
Respectful
Encouraging
Accountable
Dedicated
Showcasing our commitment to continue our impact within Spanish-speaking communities, we also have them in Spanish:
Leal (Loyal)
Entregado (Dedicated)
Esperanzador (Encouraging)
Respetuoso (Respectful)
Gratitude is in order! Many thanks to:
the Welfare Foundation for providing the funding for our strategic planning with DANA.
Laffey-McHugh foundation for providing the funding to update our marketing material
Gary Phillips of William Penn High School for designing our new logo pro bono!
We appreciate your commitment to literacy and look forward to catching up with you in 2023!
