DONATE BOOKS TO REACH OUT AND READ

Written by: Elise Kerim 

Check your dusty shelves and boxes in the basement - it's time for some spring cleaning - literature style! Please donate any gently used children's books to Reach Out and Read, a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote literacy. Drop off boxes can be found in the MRC up until February 26th.

Senior Sylvia Sochacki is organizing the book drive within our community. Sochacki decided to do host the book drive right here at Sparta High School, stating, "I feel that it is Sparta High School's duty to share our abundant resources to better other communities - a book drive is a great way to do that." Upon donating the books directly to the collection centers at the Children's Hospital of New Jersey and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center,where literacy and poverty rates are low, the organization donates books to pediatricians to give to their patients whom are unable to afford books.
