Posted: Monday, December 4, 2006Buffalo Bill Coy Wire to Serve As Spokesman for Project Flight Literacy Event
Project Flight at Buffalo State College, a not-for-profit agency devoted to family and children’s literacy services, received a prestigious 2006 Buffalo Bills Youth Foundation grant, “The Buffalo Bills/Project Flight Coy Wire Readers Are Players Program." This will allow Project Flight to establish BookNook programs, which will include on-site libraries and a family literacy resource center as well as tutors for children, parents, and teachers at two at-risk schools. The two schools selected are Enterprise Charter School and Buffalo Public School 18, comprising children from high-poverty areas and/or special needs. The focus will be on reading success, family involvement, and academic achievement.
