ZPS Literacy Advocates

Wasn't he

Who are the ZPS Literacy Advocates?

We are a group of advocates who pursue a dream, collect funds and have established an agency endowment fund within The Community Foundation of Holland/Zeeland Area to provide funding for special literacy opportunities and projects for children living in the  Zeeland Public School District that are not covered by the Zeeland Public Schools' budget.  We are responsible for the annual March visit by established children's  authors and/or illustrators.
