Education Students Participated with the Book Bridge Project
October 16, 2024
In return for three hours of sorting pallets of books for The Storehouse, a nonprofit organization that supports teachers with low to no-cost supplies that received half a million dollars of donated books from Scholastic, the students were rewarded with 240 books of their own, jumpstarting their classroom libraries. Nearly 100 students, including those from the Birth to Kindergarten, Special Education, PreK-6th, and Secondary programs participated. Faculty member Sheryl Vlietstra organized the event, with colleagues Barb Lubic, Christine Kenney, Lydia Saldivar, and Kathryn Ohle joining in. It was a tremendous success for all!
The Book Bridge Project is a partnership with Scholastic Books, GVSU Michigan Literacy Project and more to distribute books to kids in underserved communities,
