An Important Program Update

Dear Friends of STAIR-Annapolis,

We write to you today with another important program update.

The STAIR-Annapolis Administrative Staff and Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to postpone the STAIR tutoring program.

The STAIR staff and board will reassess the possibility of a return to in-person programming in January of 2022.

The health and safety of STAIR volunteers and the students we serve is our primary concern. We deeply regret that STAIR cannot confidently return to in-person programming this fall, and we share your disappointment in this unfortunate development.

Over the next few months, STAIR staff will continue working to prepare for a safe return in 2022. Our commitment to nurturing relationships with students, families, and our valued volunteers is unchanged.

Another thing that hasn't changed is our desire to meet striving young readers where they are in these uncertain times. That's why the STAIR Family Website is open and available to all. This wonderful resource includes videos, activities, and reading resources provided by STAIR-Annapolis volunteers. The STAIR Family Website helps families "Start The Adventure In Reading" at home. You're invited to visit and see for yourself at https://stairannapolis.org/forfamilies/ .

Your patience and support at this time are sincerely appreciated. While this is not the news any of us hoped for, we know STAIR will be back stronger than ever once the pandemic meaningfully recedes.

The entire STAIR-Annapolis Administrative Staff and Board of Directors sends best wishes for your good health and well-being.

Warmly,

Laura, Erin, Malena & Julieta
STAIR-Annapolis Administrative Staff
