Chase’s Chapters Brings the Gift of Reading

Today, Hutchins had the privilege of welcoming Chase’s Chapters to the campus, and what a special day it was. Their team traveled all the way from North Houston to put brand-new books directly into the hands of every one of our students. That’s not just generous, that’s impactful.

There’s something powerful about a child choosing a book that’s theirs to keep. It builds pride, ownership, and a lifelong love of reading. Watching the students light up as they picked out their books was a reminder that small moments can create big sparks.

Hutchins is incredibly thankful for Chase’s Chapter and their commitment to spreading the joy of reading. Our students left with more than just books in their hands. They left with stories, imagination, and opportunity.
