HomeFront Brands proudly sponsored their very first Ben Carson Reading Room at Oaklawn Language Academy in Charlotte, NC. The dedicated educators at this school worked tirelessly to create this beautiful book haven for their students. On March 3, 2025, the room was officially opened with an immersive woodland forest theme.

In attendance at the opening were Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ Board Member, Thelma Byers-Bailey, HomeFront Brands CEO, Jeff Dudan, and 15 other representatives from HomeFront Brands. During the ceremony, students participated in a read-along activity and crafted their own bookmarks to use in the room.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to HomeFront Brands for sponsoring this reading room, and to the educators at Oaklawn Language Academy for their dedication and hard work in bringing this space to life. These wonderful individuals are helping to keep the magic of reading alive! We hope this room serves you and your deserving students for many years to come.
