Member Spotlight

Meet Jacqueline Valle

Jaqueline, inspired by her family's legacy of educators, understands the transformative power of reading. Motivated by her mother and grandmother's dedication to teaching, she felt compelled to foster a love for literacy in young minds.

Volunteering with the Foundation’s Reading Roundup program, supported by the Ladies for Literacy Guild, brings Jaqueline immense joy and personal growth. Each month, she eagerly shares her passion for books, hoping to inspire children to embrace literacy and pursue their dreams with confidence.

What people are saying…

“To continue the literacy legacy of Mrs. Bush has been such a joyful experience in my life, and to see a child's world change through the power of literacy is a gift and a blessing for which I am so grateful.”

— Founding Member and Past President Trish Morille
