Partners for Community Literacy
Purpose: To Promote Literacy in the Communities served by the schools of Perth-Andover
Background
The Perth-Andover Partners for Community Literacy arose from a symposium organized by the School Parent Advisory Committee of Andover Elementary School in the Spring of 1998. The symposium was made up of a large group of community organizations and individuals. From that group, our Adhoc Committee was formed to continue the work of the symposium The Adhoc Committee has been meeting monthly since that time.
