Book Tour Stops at Powers Ferry ES

The We Give Books Tour delivered new books for students Tuesday as part of its nationwide ReadMobile initiative.

The We Give Books ReadMobile Tour made a visit and delivered free books on Tuesday at East Cobb's as part of its nationwide initiative to encourage regular reading habits. 

The books are provided by the Pearson Foundation, a literacy advocacy organization, and the Molina Foundation, which works on behalf of reducing economic disparities in access to education and health care. 

The We Give Books campaign is a major effort by the Penguin Group and the Pearson Foundation to equip families, classrooms and libraries with print and online books for children.

The Pearson Foundation has donated more than a million books so far and has challenged students across the United States to read a million more by the end of this school year.

I'll be there; rabbi Alper should be good (his You Tube videos are entertaining). CongratulationsRead More to Henry Hene and the Habitat coalition for doing such wonderful work and promoting "We Build to Coexist, We Coexist to Build." Congratulations to Addie and Harvey Schneider -- both are the definition of mensch.

Hurray for the "old school" which just means having a few manners. Ms. Smith alwaysRead More seems to present three facts after what seems to be extensive research. People can disagree without being rude or spouting half truths. I'm glad we still have some ethical and honest people in our midst.
