Thanks Again to Reading is Fundamental!
Isn't this just a great image? I get so excited just thinking about all the enjoyment these books will bring to the kids at Morton Ranch Elementary.
As you may remember, Tess Alfonsin (better known as the Reading Countess) won a set of the RIF Multicultural books for Morton Ranch Elementary in Katy, Texas. She very kindly sent us a picture of the display. Here is why she chose Morton Ranch over her own school ...
This school struggles to put books in the hands of their readers. It is a Title 1 school, and as such, money for books is at the low end of priorities for many families whose children attend the school. The dedicated staff and instructional leaders are inspirations to not only me, but to their student population. The school's phrase is: "a school worthy of your children."Very cool! Congratulations Morton Ranch ... and thank you again Carol Rasco and Reading is Fundamental!

This is just incredible! Thanks Tess for passing along this great picture! It's hard to imagine that a school would find books on the low end of the required items, but it happens all the time. I'm so glad RIF was able to help these kids out. Just awesome!
Thank you, Tess the Reading Countess and Terry for sharing this photo and this information...makes me feel really good about what we are all doing to see those books in a place that needs and wants them! Bravo!
I love it! Thanks again, Carol, for the important work you do with RIF!
