Reading well is the key to academic success.

If we want children
to read more books,
we must give them books
they want to read.

Empowering Children

Building Better Readers

Promoting early childhood literacy is crucial for a brighter future. At The Buis Book Foundation, we believe that giving students the freedom to choose what they read is a key to fostering a love for books. By encouraging reading for pleasure, we empower children to explore new worlds, expand their imagination, and enhance their literacy skills. Through our book giveaways, we aim to instill a lifelong passion for reading in young minds, ultimately shaping them into confident and proficient readers.

Fifth Year Celebration


Book Foundation Celebrating Fifth Year Anniversary

On January 24th at 2:00 pm at Covenant Presbyterian Church, celebrated its fifth anniversary. Though the weather kept many people away, the dedication and fellowship of those in attendance demonstrated that the mission of the Foundation is alive and well.

The Buis Book Foundation to add fourth grade at Britt Elementary and Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy in May, 2026

We are thrilled to announce that The Buis Book Foundation has decided to add the fourth grade at both Britt Elementary School in Gwinnett County Schools and Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy for their May, 2026 book giveaways.

What’s Happening?

  • Free Books for Students: Students at TAGA will receive a variety of books, completely free of charge, during giveaways in December and May of each year. These resources will help foster a love for reading and support their academic growth.

  • Raising Literacy Levels: This partnership continues the foundation's mission of improving literacy in local schools. By distributing books to young readers, we’re not only nurturing their curiosity but also helping bridge the literacy gap in the community.

  • Building Future Leaders: Just as the Tuskegee Airmen paved the way for future generations of leaders, this initiative aims to inspire students at TAGA to develop critical thinking skills, resilience, and leadership—both in the classroom and beyond.

Our Growing Impact

We’re proud to share the incredible success stories that have emerged from our previous efforts and are pleased to add the fourth grade students.

  • Kimberly Elementary: Since the Buis Book Foundation began working with Kimberly Elementary, their students' Georgia Milestones scores have shown extraordinary growth. This remarkable progress is a direct result of our shared commitment to improving literacy and providing students with the tools they need to excel academically. We are excited to bring that same positive impact to Tuskegee Airmen Academy!

How Can You Get Involved?

  • Donations: We encourage community members, businesses, and supporters to contribute to this and other initiatives. Your generous donations help put more books into the hands of students who need them most.

  • Volunteers: If you’d like to make a difference, consider volunteering to help with book distributions, events, and other activities. Every bit of support makes a huge impact.

We are excited to continue this journey at Kimberly, Britt, and TAGA and to expand our efforts to other schools in the future. The Buis Book Foundation is committed to ensuring that every child has access to the resources they need to succeed—and we can’t do it without the support of our community!

Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming events, book distributions, and ways you can help.
