To help combat the growing literacy crisis in America and to honor Read Across America Day, which was held on March 2, children at Primrose School of South Tulsa and Primrose School of Broken Arrow donated 2,359 books to Broken Arrow Neighbors and Child Abuse Network. This donation is part of Primrose’s Og’s Bountiful Book Drive, which encourages children and families to donate new or gently used books to benefit those in need throughout communities across America.

“The value of reading to, and with, children really can’t be overstated,” says Dr. Maria Shaheen, senior director of early childhood education for Primrose Schools. “Reading is the key to so many foundational skills and lessons, from the earliest development of language to understanding the perspective of people who are different from you.”

The Primrose School of Broken arrow has 2 locations: 1701 W Albany St, Broken Arrow, OK 74012  and 10185 S 85th E Ave, Tulsa, OK 74133.
