The mission of the Vickery Meadow Summer Reading Academy (VMSRA) is to include the students of Vickery Meadow who would not read/write or hear/speak English all summer; provide food, socialization and exercise for those who would not eat well, or even leave the apartment because parents work and are afraid to let them play outside; tutor students so that they are better prepared and inspired to enter school in the Fall after four weeks of the Academy. McShan Reading Homeroom began as an off-shoot of VMSRA in 2015, and is now in full operation throughout the school year, focusing on basic English, reading, writing, and reading comprehension.
We are a volunteer staff of youth and adults who care about the English education of the refugee/immigrant children of Vickery Meadow, Dallas, TX.

Classes run throughout July each year, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday only. 7:00am to 12noon. We provide English-only basic phonics, reading, and writing for 100+ students of McShan Elementary, Kinder through Sixth Grade. Breakfast and Lunch will be served. Emphasis is placed on parental support, student citizenship, discipline, and PERFECT ATTENDANCE. We are all in a race -- the Human Race!
And we are in a race to the TOP!
