@PatrickMahomes A great kid supporting a great cause. Thank you @15andMahomies for the work you are doing to help children.

This is awesome!

@QuintonLucasKC THANK YOU, Mayor Quinton Lucas, for helping Lead to Read KC raise awareness of the critical need for volunteer Reading Mentors! We encourage anyone interested in becoming a Reading Mentor to visit leadtoreadkc.org/volunteer to learn more about in-person and virtual volunteering.

I was last scheduled to read in person with KC’s Lead to Read program in March 2020. Glad to see the program back in person and my thanks to the hundreds of volunteers spending time with our young people. We always could use more!

@levarburton So happy to have you and Dolly supporting literacy and learning!

Whether we deserve her or not, I’m exceedingly glad she loves us! 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾

@stevekraske @KCURUpToDate @QuintonLucasKC The link between illiteracy and crime prevention is clear. 85% of teens in the juvenile justice system are functionally illiterate. Improving children's literacy skills is the long-term solution to reducing crime. Be part of the solution. Become a Lead to Read KC Reading Mentor.

This morning @KCURUpToDate, @QuintonLucasKC looks back on the year that (almost) was. 89.3. 9 a.m.
