students in three school districts: \u00a0Moultonborough Central School, Sandwich Central School, and Tuftonboro Central School. \u00a0It was a lengthy process that involved much communication between John and the reading specialists and principals at the schools and putting up with a lot of computer difficulties and ordering snafus from the site we used to purchase the books. \u00a0But finally, the orders for all three schools came in and \u00a0had their &#8220;Gift from the Moultonborough Lions Club&#8221; sticker attached, and were ready to be distributed.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, June 7, President Jeni, John, and Sally went to Moultonborough Central School to hand out <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">158 books<\/span><\/strong> to students in Pre-K through grade 6, after posing

and going to the right): \u00a0Diane Wheeler, Reading Specialist, Andrea Fournier, Principal, and Jane Meagher, Reading Associate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, June 15, John, Peter and Sally arrived at the Sandwich Central School to deliver<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> 79 books<\/span> <\/strong>to each of the students in the school (grades K through 6). \u00a0The panoramic photo is of all the Sandwich students in the gym after they selected their books.<\/p>\n<p>The very best thing about giving the books to the young students was their appreciation. \u00a0Upon getting their book, each one immediately opened in and began to read (or in the case of the younger students) or to look at the animal pictures. \u00a0The theme for all the books at Moultonborough was animals and that was particularly appropriate for the third graders who were just finishing up a unit on endangered animals. \u00a0It was a joy to see their joy and to continue to promote reading as a life-long pleasure. \u00a0A similar giving out of books in Tuftonboro was done by a certain book for each student in a specific grade. \u00a0In Sandwich the classroom teachers attempted to personalize book choices for each student (as much as we could do with the ups and downs of the computer ordering process).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks
