The NJEA ACCESS program supported a holiday book giveaway at Trenton’s Washington Elementary School on Dec. 19. NJEA ACCESS Consultant Danele Still worked with the school’s parent liaison, Louise Herrera, to create an activity for more than 375 K-third grade students to take home two-to-three books for their personal libraries.
The books were provided by BookSmiles of Pennsauken. (www.booksmiles.org). NJEA has a long history with BookSmiles and their founder, Larry Abrams. Learn more
Still and Herrera are planning another book giveaway in March 2024 to coincide with Read Across New Jersey.
