Project Description Country: USA Location: Baker City, Oregon Total Budget: $1,818 Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy Activity Type: Education: Literacy Summary: Books for kids We will order and pay for books and then distribute them class by class to local kids. Once books are received we will have members take them to classrooms and read the book to the class and hand out a book and a book marker to each kid in each class we read too! We will also hang four way test posters in hallways and or classrooms as we obtain permission. Things I love most about it. 1. Will get members interacting with the kids in the schools. 2. Gets kids a book to take home! 3. Introduces kids AND their parents that read to them to Rotary values! I've prepared an order already, but I'm confirming the shipping timeframe before I submit it. https://www.rotaryidealsliteracy.com/how-it-works.html Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed) This application replaces P-4695 - ping pong in the park.
