Spanish River Sharks Inspire Young Readers with "Oh, the Places You'll Go" Book Drive

A big thank you to Sofia Scher and the Spanish River Sharks Chapter of STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids for spreading the joy of reading through their "Oh, the Places You'll Go" book drive.

Sofia and her team collected and donated copies of Dr. Seuss’s beloved book for foster kids, providing them with a message of hope, encouragement, and endless possibilities. This initiative not only put books in the hands of children but also reminded them that their futures are full of potential.

Why This Matters

Books have the power to inspire, uplift, and encourage children to dream big. Many children in foster care or facing hardships may not have their own books at home. A gift as simple as a book with an empowering message can spark confidence, imagination, and a love for learning.

How You Can Help

At STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, we believe that every child deserves access to books and the opportunity to see a bright future ahead. Here’s how you can make a difference:

• Donate new or gently used books to support literacy programs for children in need.

• Organize a book drive at your school or in your community.

• Volunteer or start a chapter to help support children in foster care.

Thank you to Sofia and the Spanish River Sharks for making a difference and helping children take the first step toward a future full of possibilities.

Share this story to inspire others to support literacy and educational access for all children.
