GBA Members Deliver Books to Jones Elementary

January 1, 2018/0 Comments/in Newsletter, Old Newsletter Articles

This is so special, I think I’m going to cry.

On December 19, 2017, eleven volunteers from the GBA delivered holiday cheer and more than 200 well-wrapped books to the K-5 students in the Neighborhood Leadership Program (NLP) at David D. Jones Elementary School. As always, the children were happy and excited to receive their gifts. One student remarked, “This is so special, I think I’m going to cry.” This year’s GBA Elementary School Project was one of our most successful, thanks to generous member donations of over $3,000 and a $500 matching grant from the GBA Foundation, and the time and care members showed wrapping the books at the GBA Holiday Party on December 13.  As has been done in years past, the books were purchased through Jones Elementary’s Scholastic Book Fair, which provides the school with funds that can be used to purchase new books for the school library and classrooms. Sufficient funds were raised to purchase additional books as gifts for all fifth graders graduating from Jones Elementary this year in both the NLP and Spanish Immersion programs.
