Donations to the 'If you Give a Child a Book' foundation will provide each student at Nash Elementary School 10 books to take home
TUCSON, Ariz. -- — The KGUN9 team is giving back to the community. We want to make sure more than 300 kids at Nash Elementary School here in Tucson get the chance to take home 10 brand new books each. This is the eighth year of our"If You Give A Child A Book" campaign supporting childhood literacy.
"They love school. They live for school. They're even sad when we have vacation time, when they can't be in school. Nash is a very special place. It's, I think, one of the hidden secrets of Amphi District and Tucson." "It has a bunch of pages and I like books that are really hard," said Stefen, one of Mrs. Gates' first graders."I like reading because I want to know new things that are in books. Books tell you new things.""I like that they grow stuff and you just gotta be so patient for them to grow." Stefen told me.The biggest hope behind this campaign is that kids like Stefen develop a lifelong love of learning and the literacy skills to succeed in life.
