H-E-B , UTB and BISD Celebrate Participants of Read 3 Family Literacy Workshop

On Friday, May 11, H‐E‐B, the University of Texas at Brownsville and the Brownsville Independent School District celebrated 103 families who completed the Read 3 Family Literacy Workshop, six weeks of classes designed to help parents and 3 and‐4‐year‐olds get prepped for success in kindergarten. Mayor Tony Martinez delivered the keynote address at a ceremony at UTB, one of the lead partners in the H‐E‐B program. Similar to a high school or college graduation, each family walked across the stage and received a certificate of completion with the UTB seal. The ceremony was designed not just to recognize the families’ accomplishment in completing the program, but also to bring them onto a college campus and give them the experience of crossing a stage so they can envision that future for their children.
