Links To Literacy

Each fall, the Bozeman Schools Foundation gives every first grader, teacher, and librarian a book through our Links to Literacy program. Families also receive tips and resources that highlight the vital role parents play in early reading development. Because strong reading skills lay the foundation for lifelong learning, literacy remains a core focus of our mission.
