Digital Marketing Agency, Minds On, Adopts Area Classroom Through Annual "Giving Back" Initiative

    COLUMBUS, OH, December 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Minds On, a leading Central Ohio digital marketing agency, announced the launch of a new program to support local schools and increase childhood literacy. This holiday season, the Minds On Learning initiative will select an individual Central Ohio school for the program. Minds On Learning is designed to excite, encourage and grow students' reading skills.

Minds On Learning will supply a select school with an assortment of age-appropriate books and will use a book purchase reward system to help stimulate students' interest in reading. This program is intended as a seed program that will attract and funnel additional private donations to spread and strengthen literacy in Central Ohio.

"Since our founding, Minds On has sponsored a yearly program of Giving Back by adopting a local family in need," said Tom Augustine, President of Minds On. "This year we wanted to do something that would touch many different families. Minds On Learning is an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children, not just during the holidays, but all year round. We're hoping to do something that might change their lives forever. Since announcing the program, we've been touched by the responses we've received. There are a lot of great teachers and students out there. They just need a little help."

The first school selected for the Minds On Learning program is Eastgate Elementary, which is part of the Columbus City Schools. The new initiative will supply classrooms with books and an incentive program that will award students with a Minds On Learning Stamp for each book they read. As the students read a predetermined numbers of stamps, they'll be rewarded with the ability to select a book from the Scholastic Book Club - all at no cost to the student or family. The goal is to create a love for reading and to get more books into the hands of students who typically can't afford to buy books.

Minds On encourages others to donate to the program and participate as a volunteer tutor. The average book cost, through the program, is two to four dollars. A ten-dollar donation could mean a new book for five individual students.
