We want to thank you for choosing Reach Out and Read Kansas City to benefit from the book drive you organized for your school service project. Through your efforts, over 1200 great books were collected at St. Elizabeth’s! These books will help us in our mission to get books into the hands of deserving families—these families might otherwise not have books in their homes.

New books donated to Reach Out and Read Kansas City are distributed to young children ages birth through five years by doctors at our 40+ clinic sites. Parents are apprised of ways to use books to enhance their child's early development.  Books for older children are placed in clinic waiting rooms and are given to siblings by volunteer readers. To date, Reach Out and Read Kansas City has distributed over 1,200,000 new books and countless used books throughout the metropolitan area.

We are grateful to you for organizing this book drive, and for encouraging your classmates to contribute to this worthy cause. Thank you so much for helping us promote literacy in the greater Kansas City area!

Sincerely yours,

The Reach Out and Read Staff

Hello! This blog's main purpose is to tell you about the work that I've done on my Passion Projects. You can find my reflections under the "...

Overall, this project was a great opportunity for me to grow in my learning, and it's not something that you would usually do in school, but I'm eternally grateful that we did. This project inspired me through seeing a community come together and support our drive in such a large way. I want to thank everybody that had even a small part in this drive, whether that was through helping us move/ sort through books, or donating the books themselves, because everything that you did had a positive effect on my partner and I, and on the children/families that this charity helps. Because of you, we were able to accomplish something great, and words cannot thank you all enough.

Before doing this project I never would have even considered trying to organize some sort of drive, especially with little adult help. This project forced me to step outside my comfort zone; I'm glad it did. With the help of my partner, I organized a book drive, spent at least 12 classes and 6.5 hours outside of school working, collected 28 boxes full of books, and took two loads of books to Reach Out and Read. I now have an immense sense of accomplishment. I did what I never knew I could. I will never regret it.
