<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.thebiglift.org/#overview-01">The Big Lift</a> is a finalist in Google’s Impact Challenge. There are ten finalists and the top four will receive 500k. The Big Lift is an ambitious project with over 200 community partners,
including Peninsula Library System (PLS), San Mateo County Library, San Mateo City Library, and South San Francisco Public Library. What’s it about? 43% of San Mateo County’s children are not reading proficiently by 3<sup>rd</sup> grade (!). The Big Lift aims
to fix this with a combination of two years of high-quality preschool and programs to reduce chronic absence, end summer learning loss, and engage families and the broader community to support learning in school and at home.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What can you do? Vote for it here: <a href="http://bit.ly/votegoogleimpact">
http://bit.ly/votegoogleimpact</a>. I’m not going to lie – all of the projects are extraordinary and important. Luckily, you can vote on four projects total. Voting ends October 20.<o:p></o:p></p>
