In an inspiring initiative, Toys for Tots has joined forces with the Lawrence County School System to launch a book donation and exchange program aimed at enhancing literacy among students. This collaborative effort is part of the broader Toys for Tots Literacy Program, which seeks to equip children with essential resources that will support their educational journeys and personal growth.
The primary objective of this program, an extension of the well-known Marine Toys for Tots, is to foster a love for reading by providing books to children who may not have access to them. By helping to establish home libraries and promoting literacy, the initiative aspires to instill a lifelong passion for reading in young learners. Supporting this cause not only empowers students but also encourages them to harness the transformative power of reading to create brighter futures.
The Toys for Tots Literacy Program proudly collaborates with the Lawrence County School System, and community members are invited to participate by donating new or gently used books. Donations can be made at any LCSS school from Monday, May 5th through Friday, May 16th. In addition, each school will host a special exchange event on Wednesday, May 21st, where students from Kindergarten through 3rd Grade will have the opportunity to select new books to take home for the summer months.
For those seeking further details about this initiative, inquiries can be directed to Toys for Tots – Lawrence County via email at [email protected] or [email protected]. This partnership not only highlights the importance of literacy but also showcases the community’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of readers.
