Our guest speakers this week will be Ebony Pattenaude, Executive Director of Team Read.

Ebony joined Team Read recently from the Renton School District where she was the Director of Renton Innovation Zone Partnerships and Early Learning. In this role, Ebony was instrumental in bringing Team Read to Renton schools, where our partnership continues to grow. She has extensive experience working with students and their families, building support programs from the ground up. Ebony will bring her passion for connecting schools and communities to Team Read, growing the organization to reach more young readers, and making meaningful job opportunities available to more local teens.
