Coach Frank Beamer, his brother Barnett, and sisters Betty and Billie, proudly announce the formation of HERMA'S READERS. The purpose of this non-profit organization is to introduce the power of reading to our youngsters during their formative years, grades K-3.

HERMA'S READERS launched in August of 2008 in conjunction with the start of the 2008 school year.
