Dear [mentor name], We at [school/district/organization] can’t thank you enough for volunteering to read to our community’s children through the Scholastic R.E.A.L. program! The response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Here’s a sampling of what we’ve heard so far: • A child told us, “[Insert quote].” • A [teacher/facilitator] let us know, “[Insert quote].” [Insert anecdote: “You might also be interested to know…” or “I’m also delighted to share that…”] I’m seeing students’ perception of reading shift from reluctance to excitement as they receive their book each month and look forward to seeing YOU! They nd it easier to dive into a new book at home when they’ve already begun the process of reading and chatting about the book, joyfully, with you. [Alternately, if needed: I know it can take a few months for a mentor and students to get to know each other. We’re so grateful you’re keeping at it, building trust with students. I’m so appreciative that you’re investing in our children. You will make a R.E.A.L. impact on them.] If you have any questions or feedback at any point in the year, please feel free to reach out to me. Strong relationships between schools and community members have a deep impact on children, and we’re already seeing the results. We’re so glad to have you with us! [Warmly, / With gratitude, / Thank you,] Name Title School/district/organization Email address and phone number
