Area Students Receive Personalized Books From Ludlow Rotary Club
In keeping with its long-standing efforts to support literacy in the local school systems, members of the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) have been preparing customized books, "School is Fun" and "My School", for area elementary school children. What makes these books particularly unique is the fact that each student has his or her name printed on the title page. As Tom Harris, an LRC member who has been part of this program for years observed, "About 24 years ago the Ludlow Rotary Club began distributing personalized reading books titled "School is Fun" and "My School" to every 1st grader in our service area. We have been doing it ever since."
Pictured above are two photo illustrating area students with these unique books. On the top are six 1st graders from Mt Holly Elementary School as they display their personalized books. The students are Eli Bruce, Quinn Garrett, Quentin Huynh, Dominic Mailhiot, Jack Newhouse, and Ildy Vastola. On the bottom is George Thomson, a LRC Rotarian, reading the personalized book "MySchool" to the first graders at Ludlow Elementary School. George noted that " the kids loved the story about a Raccoon loose in the school. They were delighted to each get a book to take home".
