to be helpful, caring,
and constructive-
To make everything
you touch a little bit better.
The best thing you
have to give is
yourself."

When a financial service company decides to show its support for education, it does it in the way it knows best… financially. Each year, ING Financial Services selects 100 national finalists to receive a $2000 grant to support an educational program.
This year, Melissa Isaacs, kindergarten teacher at Scott Teays Elementary School, is a finalist in the ING Unsung Heroes program.
Isaacs' project, “Listen, Learn, and Love Literacy” was selected for its innovative methods, creativity, and ability to positively influence students.
Isaacs will use the award to establish a Listening Library at Scott Teays, from which her kindergarteners may borrow developmentally appropriate books, along with CDs and CD players, to take home. Isaacs believes this will make it easier for busy parents to share reading opportunities with their children and improve children’s listening skills, vocabulary, and language skills. Because listening to fluent reading improves reading ability, Isaac hopes that this activity will provide a positive intervention that will lead to the promotion of early literacy skills and a love of reading.
