Read To Succeed
Scott Van Duzer’s “Read to Succeed” program has made a significant impact on promoting literacy among students in St. Lucie County. In its inaugural year, the program achieved remarkable success, with Fairlawn Elementary School reaching 100% participation. This accomplishment led to the program’s expansion for the 2024-2025 school year. The initiative has been recognized for its effectiveness, earning the Commissioner’s Business Recognition Award from the Florida Department of Education.
The Read to Succeed program also gave away over 8,500 books for children in SLC to create home libraries.
Overall, the “Read to Succeed” program has been successful in fostering a love for reading and improving literacy rates among local students.
