Greensburg, In. — The Duke Energy Foundation plans to invest $14,150 in the Decatur County summer reading program. The program is designed to combat the “summer brain drain” many educators have described.
“Summer programs not only help kids retain what they’ve learned, but they can also help close achievement gaps,” said Duke Energy Community Relations Manager Chip Orben. “Developing young, good readers is fundamental to success in school and later in life.”
This grant is one of 24 that total a $400,000 investment in school literacy program.
