$600 of Children's Books Donated to Local Elementary

Diane Blanco contacted Kingwood Rotary President, Deirdre Murray, about The Women’s Center at Lone Star College-Kingwood, in partnership with East Montgomery County Rotary Club and Lone Star Honor Society, collecting new and gently used children’s books during the holidays for students at Crippen Elementary School in New Caney.

Crippen Elementary is a Title One school where more than 70% of their students live at or below the poverty level. Many have never owned a book.

Our club members purchased $600 PF books, and were delivered to Diane Blanco in December for the project....and we were all very excited to help!

Literacy is one of Rotary's Internationals Six Areas of Focus and Kingwood Rotary was very proud to participate in this literacy project.
