Maybe you prefer decoration. In that case, Religious Antiquities is your self-ex- planatory shop, although parents of many will probably like the whimsical designs over at Honeychild Forest. We can all get behind the gorgeous wall art at Brick House in the City and there's bound to be an occa- sion for the decorative plates at Timree studio.Rakstar Designs has a modern col- lection of both jewelry and décor. FOR ANYONE Would you like some clothes that hint at your faith, but also still look okay out- side of a youth conference? Luckily, some designers have received the message and are designing away.

They include e v e r y t h i n g from T-Shirts with Joan of Arc quotes to "Cradle Catholic" baby onesies. C'est parfait.

FOR ANYONE Catholic Threads: http://bit. ly/1SW7ot0 FOCUS: https://www.shopfocus.org/ SHOP FOCUS Denver Catholic schools partner with Learning Ally to aid struggling readers T he Office of Denver Catho- lic Schools has announced an extended partnership with Learn- ing Ally, a nonprofi t organization that provides programs and services to assist students who struggle with reading. The partnership was made possible thanks in large part to a generous donation of more than $200,000 made by the Zarlengo Foundation. "Thanks to the Zarlengo Foundation and other donors, we have been able to partner with Learning Ally to access more than 80,000 audio books to sup- port our readers who benefi t from that assistive technology," said Mary Cohen, assistant superintendent of Denver Catholic schools. A principal's meeting was held at the Pastoral Center on March 9 announcing the expanded partnership. Two students from St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School shared their success stories using Learn- ing Ally. Learning Ally was launched as a pilot program in Summer of 2015, initially growing to support 260 students in six archdiocesan schools, a press release said. The expanded program will reach all 36 archdiocesan schools and increase the number of students served by Learning Ally to more than 8,000 students across Colorado. The partnership with Learning Ally is a part of a larger plan that the Oª ce of Catholic Schools is working on to better serve students in their schools who face learning challenges. "The challenge we face as a school system is providing the best instruction and assistive technologies for students with learning challenges," Cohen said. "We are committed to seeking support to assist as many as possible."
