Once upon a time, in the fabulous state of Tennessee, halfway between the effervescent energy of Music City, Nashville, and the delightful charm of the River City, Memphis, there lived a bunch of super intelligent, book-loving kids. They were not ordinary kids, oh no! They possessed a special power. Every time they opened a book and started to read, they were transformed into brainy bookworms, traveling through the mystical tunnels of knowledge and imagination. The leader of this magical gang was none other than the wacky and witty, Wilbur the Word Wizard. Wilbur, with his rainbow-colored beard and glasses as round as the moon, would guide the kids on their reading adventures. With his magic quill, he could turn mere words into vivid pictures, creating magnificent landscapes filled with unicorns jumping over rainbows or aliens slurping spaghetti on Mars. When it came to fun, these Tennessee tots were never left behind. After all, who said reading was a boring activity? Definitely not this lot! Whether they were giggling over the hilarious antics of Wimpy Kid or holding their breath during Harry Potter's daring escapades, they knew how to make the most of their reading time. Not to mention, their Word Wizard Wilbur always had a silly joke up his sleeve that would make them roll on the floor laughing! And thus, the kids from Tennessee were the happiest bunch in all of America. They had discovered the magical world of books and with their Word Wizard Wilbur, every day brought a new adventure, a new story, and a new punchline!

At MTR we believe that all people have inherent and equal value from simply being made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We recognize that educational outcomes are tied to markers of well-being such as health, income, and vocational choice/opportunities. As a result, we are dedicated to addressing the systemic inequities of education in Memphis so that class, age, ability, race, gender, religion, and other identity markers do not determine a person’s value. We are committed to creating a more equitable educational landscape in the city and honoring the dignity and worth of each and every person.
