Thank you for making a difference!
"I cannot thank you and the
community enough for your generous support of the High School Media Center. You
created a lovely holiday book drive and partnership with Serendipity and
provided the high school with much needed free choice books for all of our
students. ...support of all types of reading materials is absolutely necessary,
especially now. Teenagers look for themselves in stories or look for situations
so they don't feel alone... I hope you feel the joy you have brought to the
students at the High School!" – Shannon Krug, CHS Media Clerk
