Education Students Read Stories, Donate Books to Local Area Children

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Christmas came early this year for children at two Adair County schools and one education center. 

A dozen students from the Lindsey Wilson College Kentucky Education Association-Student Program visited Adair County Elementary School, Colonel William Casey School and the Adair County Head Start Center on Wednesday, Dec. 1.

The Lindsey Wilson students read a story to the preschool and kindergarten students at the Adair County schools, and then they gave each student a book. They also gave each classroom library four books, along with a stuffed animal from a story by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Many of the classroom's the LWC students visited were taught by LWC alumni.

The students held several fund-raisers this fall semester to collect more than $600 to purchase the books for the students. The LWC KEA-SP chapter is advised by LWC Associate Professor of Education Melissa Saunier-Arnold.
