Tricoci University has partnered with Turning the Page, a Chicago non-profit whose efforts support families in Chicago’s North Lawndale area, for a book drive at some of our Chicagoland campuses. The organization connects parents to home learning resources and activities, create a space for parents to build relationships with other parents and teachers and created leadership and advocacy opportunities that improve schools and communities.
At TUBC, we feel this is an incredible cause to support and are including our Chicago Northeast, Chicago Northwest, Bridgeview, Glendale Heights, Libertyville, and Campus Resource Center to participate in a book, CD, and DVD drive being held from February 29th through March 21st.
What is “Turning the Page?”
Turning the Page is a local nonprofit committed to engaging families for student success. We connect parents to home learning resources and activities, create a space for parents to build relationships with other parents and teachers, and build a bridge to further leadership and advocacy opportunities that improve schools and communities. Donated items (books, CDs, and DVDs) are resold by Turning the Page to raise funds for our programs in Chicago public schools. This year Turning the Page is partnered with four schools in the North Lawndale area, helping hundreds of parents from these communities become more active, effective participants in their children’s education. Our book collecting/selling fundraiser allows us to turn donated used books into funds that allow Turning the Page to best support the families in our programs, as well as buy thousands of high-quality new children’s books to build families’ home libraries, improving home learning environments.
