How exciting to get a new book, even better it was free!

We are fortunate to have received funds from Reading is Fundamental so each child at Dike Newell School received a new book of their choice. RIF is a non profit organization whose mission is to put books in the hands of children to build the passion for reading. They have provided 15 million books to children in all 50 states. 

It was exciting to see student walk away with a new book to have at home.
