We know that schools can't do it alone, and that it will take our entire community to reach our Moonshot Moment goal for children to be ready for kindergarten and 90% reading on grade-level by the end of third grade.

Our Moonshot Community Action Network (MCAN, pronounced em-Can) is comprised of dedicated community leaders who are working together to make Indian River County a leading literacy capital of the nation. We invite you to please join us on this Moonshot journey!
