Our K-2 students participate in a program called "Book Trust". Every month each student receives $12 worth of books for them to enjoy and add to their home libraries. Well this month, their books were delivered by their Temple University Football Reading Buddies! Not only did they deliver the books, they also read a few with them. Thank you Temple University Football Team!!!
