The Costco Reading Program is committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work, focusing on children, education and human services. The Costco Volunteer Reading Program began in 1998 to give Costco employees the opportunity to volunteer and make a difference in their communities. Board President, Ms. Patricia Jimenez, spearheaded this community partnership and celebrated the success with the students.
Join us in celebrating public schools and the dedicated educators and professionals who support our students in many ways. Thank you to our Isaac Families for choosing the Isaac School District and allowing us to showcase the amazing things happening in and out of the classrooms. Public Schools Week February 27-March 3, 2023.

We continue to reflect on Black History Month and remember Booker T. Washington as an influential African American speaker of his time. He attended the Hampton Institute and later became a teacher after the Civil War. He founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama. His work in the education field helped African Americans gain hope for acceptance and respect within the nation.

Today we remember Harriet Tubman, an escaped enslaved woman who helped others gain their freedom as a “conductor” of the Underground Railroad. She led people to freedom and participated in anti-slavery efforts. Her life’s work still serves as an inspiration for people from every race and background.

We continue to reflect and remember civil rights leaders to honor their bravery and legacies. Today we reflect on Frederick Douglass, who escaped slavery and became a leader in the abolitionist movement. The abolitionist movement was an organized effort to end the practice of slavery. He continued to be an advocate for African American rights. We honor his legacy of equality among all.
Our teachers look forward to discussing with you your child’s accomplishments and academic goals during parent teacher conferences. Reminder, there will be half day dismissal during these days. Please reach out to your child’s school if you have any questions.
