A wonderful email from a teacher:
Hello!
I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for all the books I picked up on Saturday, June 3rd. I teach 1st grade in Hayward. I laid them out on the students’ tables and let them go “shopping” to get books to take home. That LOVED it! Here’s a photo of them reading their new to them books!
You all are doing such wonderful work! Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Valene Wong
