COMMUNITY PARTNERS SPREAD THE JOY OF READING Second graders at McKinley Elementary School received a special literacy boost thanks to a visit from the International WeLoveU Foundation and local employees from Amazon. Through Amazon’s sponsorship, 130 books were donated, ensuring every second-grade student went home with a brand-new book of their own. Volunteers spent time reading alongside students, helping turn the experience into more than just a lesson. The visit highlighted the power of community partnerships in supporting literacy, encouraging a love of reading, and investing in student success.
