"Richer than I
you can never be,
I had a mother
who read to me."

Welcome

Miss Ruby's Kids is an early literacy program for Georgetown County, SC families. The program is named in honor of Mrs. Ruby Forsythe, who together with her husband, and then alone after his death, ran a one-room school in Pawleys Island for 55 years on the campus of Holy Cross Faith Memorial Episcopal Church.

40 children aged two and three years old will receive a total of 1,840 home visits in 2008-2009 by this innovative early literacy program.

Mission

Miss Ruby's Kids program enables parents lacking in resources
to become their children's first, best teacher
by promoting literacy skills, and so increases
their children's chances of success in school and in life.
