  Our kids need a powerful

Lift off to Learning. 

In partnership with the Massillon Public Library, we support parents of preschoolers in two ways:


1)  Workshops:

 One Tiger sponsors  workshops for parents and caregivers of children 0-5 to teach them how to engage these young ones to develop their young brains for a lifetime of learning and why it's so important.


"Every Child Ready to Read"

focuses on six practices that lead to skills necessary for reading and school success.

Sing, Talk, Read, Play, Write & Rhyme -These 6 Things - led daily by parents, older siblings, grandparents or caregivers; this personal involvement with a developing child yields profound results.

STaR PoWeR!


We also provide a book to introduce 3 and 4 year old children to the basic sounds of language- phonics. It costs about $12 per participant for materials, though, and this is one of the areas your generous giving is needed.


2) Imagination Library:

 Dolly Parton has done a wonderful service with her nonprofit foundation. Imagination Library makes it possible for a new book to be mailed to any child age 0-5 on a monthly basis.


One Tiger raises funds to help make this program available to eligible children in Massillon for FREE.

Enrollment Form Here: https://www.massillonlibrary.org/imagination-library/ 


 Imagine the excitement of a little one receiving a new book in the mail each month! 


At an annual cost of only $12.50 per child, how many kids will you bless with such a wonderful gift this year?

obie book boxes! newspaper vending boxes being repurposed and placed in massillon neighborhoods!

Thanks to a generous donation from our local newspaper publisher, Gannett Co. Inc., One Tiger has been given several newspaper vending boxes which are being repurposed into OBIE BOOK BOXES!  These boxes with colorful new graphics designed by  Studer Signs are being placed in Massillon neighborhoods with FREE BOOKS for our kids to enjoy.  We want parents to engage their children with books in a HOME LIBRARY and this is one way to support that goal while building community.  Look for our Reading Obie logo near you!


It costs right at $300 to makeover each vending box into a "little library" and install it with a supply of books. Currently, we have placed 8 little libraries throughout the community and have 4 more in process.  If you can sponsor an Obie Book Box or donate toward this special need, it would be greatly appreciated.
