West Carroll Cafeteria Staff Gifts Books to Elementary Students
From the Mar 17, 2026 e-Edition
The cafeteria staff at West Carroll Elementary School helped spread the joy of reading by collecting enough books for every student to receive one during Read Across America Week.
Books were distributed to students during lunch on March 3 and 4, giving each child the opportunity to take home a new book of their own. The thoughtful effort supported the school’s celebration of literacy and encouraged students to develop a love for reading, both at school and at home.
