The Pervis Jackson Foundation, under the guidance of Claudrene Jackson, generously gifted these books to students in the district, spreading the joy of reading throughout Detroit. During a visit to the John R. King Academic and Performing Arts Academy, Ms. Jackson had the opportunity to engage with students firsthand.
They eagerly read excerpts from “The Magic Van” and shared their thoughts, creating an enriching dialogue about literature and creativity. This event not only highlighted the importance of reading but also underscored the exceptional dedication of both Detroit students and teachers. In a city where every month is reading month, this initiative stands as a testament to the profound impact of education and community support.
