MILLEDGEVILLE — The ASPIRE (A Student Parent Initiative Revitalizing Education) program came to an end last with a family reading session held at Mary Vinson Memorial Library by Georgia College Associate Professor of Literacy Education Linda Bradley at which the 30 Early Learning Center families received a mesh book bag, school uniforms and a copy of “The Little Red Hen.” Communities In Schools Milledgeville-Baldwin County kicked off the family education initiative last year for eligible at-risk ELC families to help eliminate illiteracy, unemployment and poverty in the community by offering educational services geared toward the whole family, including childhood education, adult education, parenting education and intergenerational literacy activities. For more information about ASPIRE, program requirements and its mission, call ASPIRE Program Site Coordinator Debbie Lamsma at (478) 452-3408 or visit www.cismilledgeville.org.
