Thirty fourth graders at Woodward Elementary in Dekalb County jumped up and down with excitement when The Rotary Club of Brookhaven donated 90 paperback books to their class last Thursday.
Ms. Bethann Soons’ 30 students now each have their own personal copy of “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, “The Westing Game” by Ellen Raskin, and “My Name is Brian” by Jeanne Betancourt.
The Rotary Club of Brookhaven’s Literacy initiative supports Woodward Elementary through regular book donations and bi-weekly readings to first, second, and/or third grade classes.
