What happened to Success by 6?

It now contains the former program under its umbrella, which has allowed Student Success to be able to impact students of all ages without an age cap. This division is still running strong, and it seeks to ensure all children who enter first grade will be ready to learn and thrive.
How does Student Success actually help students?
Student Success is responsible a wide range of programs and initiatives throughout Etowah County that provide real and transformative help to sustain and foster development across all ages.
How is Student Success able to give out free books?
This is all funded mostly through the Girlfriend Gala, which is a night out to promote and celebrate children's literacy.
What is the goal for Student Success?
