📖Spotlight: South Carolina Summer Reading Camps
Focus: Pomaria-Garmany Elementary School

✨What Shines: Summer sparkles with literacy coaches like Amy Milstead helping first- and third-grade students learn to read—and learn to love it. Powerful literacy tools in the hands of our outstanding educators and coaches are making all the difference in the South Carolina Surge.
