Reading is Fun-damental!


Rachael Fravel’s First Grade class from Lancaster Elementary School reached their goal of reading 100 books together before the 100th day of school for the Scholastic Book Clubs’ ClassroomsCare program, a philanthropy-based literacy campaign designed to teach children about the joys and importance of reading and giving. This Fall, students in classrooms all across the country read 100 books and, in turn, Scholastic Book Clubs will donate 1 million new books to disadvantaged children nationwide. Fravel’s classroom chose to donate their books to the Guilford Child Health Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. This center helps those who are less fortunate by providing child care and medical assistance. The students voted to donate their books to the Guilford Child Health Center which will provide books to children from birth until they reach kindergarten.(Submitted Photo)
