The Montgomery Coalition for Adult English Literacy will celebrate National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week with a special event. The event is scheduled Friday, September 30 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Ana G. Mendez located at 11006 Veirs Mill Road in Wheaton.

The event will include free pizza, children’s activities and information on how to enroll in English and literacy classes. The location has free parking and is metro accessible.

National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week raises public awareness about the need and value of adult education and family literacy in order to leverage resources to support access to basic education programs for the 36 million U.S. adults with low literacy skills. Advocates across the country use this opportunity to elevate adult education and family literacy nationwide with policymakers, the media and the community.
