$70,000 to Book Trust to provide books free of charge on a monthly basis to approximately 1,100 children who attend Kemp Elementary School (Bryan) or College Hills Elementary School (College Station). Through the program, K-6th graders choose up to $7 of books monthly from Scholastic Books Clubs catalogs. The program lasts throughout the school year, which allows each child to add approximately 20 titles to their home library. By providing books to students eligible for the free/reduced lunch program, Book Trust reaches students who may have never had the opportunity to choose and own their own books.
