Midtronics Reaches Out to the Community with Reading in Motion

Midtronics demonstrates its commitment to the community through a partnership with Reading in Motion, a non-profit organization that uses music and drama to help at-risk children in Chicago achieve grade-level reading.

Midtronics contributions provided Funston Elementary School the resources to recruit the talent and creativity of a devoted teaching artist. In one kindergarten classroom in particular, all but two students are reading at grade level- a benchmark that is critical in determining future achievement. During a recent visit to Midtronics’ adopted classroom, several of our employees were given the opportunity to observe and interact with the children as they demonstrated the techniques of sounding-out words and practicing phonemic awareness. Midtronics sponsored a book drive for the classroom and presented three boxes of books to Funston as a lifelong gift of learning.
