Niagara Frontier Reading Council

NYSRA's conference will take place in Buffalo this year (Nov. 9-11)!! Register today at nysreading.org. Even better than a conference in Buffalo?! A conference in Buffalo with friends! Three or more attendees from a district/organization receive discounted registration.

The mission of the NFRC is to promote literacy education, encourage professional development and provide community service that fosters literacy within Western New York. We hope to instill a passion for lifelong learning and to encourage readers to build a vision of the future.

The Certificate of Appreciation Award will be awarded to a person or a group not affiliated with the NFRC and not a paid, professional educator. This award is for service to or promotion of the council’s goals.

It's that time again! 🗓️Every year the Niagara Frontier Reading Council presents two prestigious local awards: the Service to Reading Award and the Certificate of Appreciation Award.🏆🏆 Please send your nominations to thenfrc@gmail.com by April 7, 2025.
