Foust Elementary Book Drive

On December 18th, right before Winter Break, me and some friends hosted a book drive at Foust Elementary. We collected tons of books for these kids and through out the morning kids came with their classes to the media center and picked out a book to take home. It was great seeing just how happy these kids were to get these books. It didn't seem like much to us but you could tell to some of those kids it was everything. One of the librarians even told us that for some of the children there, the book they picked is the only gift they will receive this holiday season. Hearing that really made me realize just how fortunate I am. It was truly an honor spending the morning at Faust and meeting some amazing kids! Included are some pictures we took that morning!

This adorable little girl is a student at Foust and was very excited to get a book, almost as excited as I was to be able to meet her.

In between classes we stopped to take a picture with all the books. It was amazing to see just how many books we raised and were able to give to these kids.
