Mission Statement

Making sure your child receives the most important gift of all, a good education, can be stressful! With ever-changing state standards and a future that requires a skillset, most people have a hard time contemplating, the task can seem daunting.

Veteran educators, Sharon Hillestad and daughter Holly Haggerty have teamed up to share decades of knowledge, tips, and stories—all with the purpose of making the process of educating your child a little easier and more fun. 

Later this year, Sharon’s book The Reading War will be published. And, in the not-too-distant future, their company, Cloud Nine Learning, will release a cutting edge, online beginning reading game! 

Meanwhile, Sharon and Holly are excited to start a conversation with parents and teachers about literacy and how we can work together to make reading fun and relevant to our kids.
