The Lab Supports River East Reading Achievement!
With temptations of video games, cable TV and the Internet lurking around every corner, it is no wonder that for many students, books have become a guilty pleasure of the past. While Facebook, YouTube and Xbox seem to be in high demand for kids of all ages, this is not the case for the River East Day Treatment 5th and 6th graders in Mr. Ayers’s classroom.

Help The Lab via Donors Choose!
In order to provide meaningful experiences and extraordinary opportunities to students, The Lab relies on in-kind donations, funding from grants and people like you to support our cause.
