Books given to Pre-K -1st Graders, 12/20/19
 
On Friday, Dec. 20, Russellville Independent School District’s youngest readers (Pre-K -1st grade) received a Santa package including 3 wonderful storybooks to add to their home libraries!  The books included are:  1. Hey, Grandude (by Paul McCartney); 2. The Crayon's Christmas (by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers); and 3.  The Gift Inside the Box (by Adam & Allison Grant).  There are many folks behind the scenes that helped make this happen:  Dr. Steven Moats, Michele McCloughan, Amy Clinard, and Dr. Stacey Leggett from Western Kentucky University.  This special heart-warming project was made possible through the Russellville Reads grant.  “A book is a gift you can read over and over”. -Garrison Keillor  #RussellvilleREADs 2.0
