<div style="font-size:13.3333px; font-family:Verdana">I contacted someone at the Oregon College Savings Plan to find out the status of the Reading is an Investment program for K-5 students, and this is what I learned: </div>
<div style="font-size:13.3333px; font-family:Verdana"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:13.3333px; font-family:Verdana">"The Reading is an Investment program has been discontinued. We’re going a different direction with our outreach efforts." </div>
<div style="font-size:13.3333px; font-family:Verdana"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:13.3333px; font-family:Verdana">I will take this off my radar. Thanks to everyone who promoted the program and helped students participate over the years.</div>

<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap; color:rgb(0,0,0)">The Reading is an Investment program is sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan and aims to promote literacy and financial education among K-5 elementary students in Oregon.
Today I learned from the program coordinator that Reading is an Investment is "being reevaluated this year because it didn't meet its target last year and participation was down. It will likely come back in the future in a different form."
FYI, in case you are asked about the program,
