The Kiwanis Club of Monticello recently delivered chapter books to the eleven second grade classes at the George L. Cooke Elementary School in Monticello just before summer break begins.
The books were selected by Kiwanian Doris Motl, who is a retired 4th grade teacher. Accompanying he to the classrooms was Jane Sorensen, who is a Kiwanis member as well as Family Engagement Program Manager for EPIC (Every Person Influences Children).
The students were very courteous and expressed their appreciation for the gift of reading material and they were especially thrilled that they were chapter books. They were also very interested to learn more about the Kiwanis Club and the many ways they help the children in the community, i.e. the Sweet Dreams Program assisting children going into Foster Care with comforting items, holiday gifts for children in need, scholarships for high school seniors, and they were also impressed with the service leadership clubs Kiwanis sponsors in the Middle School and High School.
