Foundation's Book Donation
The Foundation sponsored the purchase of over 3,000 books for every Pre-K – Grade 5 student delivered to them via the student material pick-up during May at each D95 elementary school. The books that are left over are going to be divided equally among the five elementary schools to be used as part of their Birthday Books or other student incentive programs. Got a picture of your child reading his/her book? Send it to us at foundation@lz95.org to promote on social media. #D95SummerReading
