You are so faithful to John Essex, and we so need what you do

Dear Reader to Reader,

I love you!

We received lots of books from Reader to Reader in February. The library at John Essex School is beginning to look like a "real school's library." I thank God for you.

We are so grateful to you and all of your hard work. You are so faithful to John Essex, and we so need what you do. God bless you.

Thanks to you we received the books from Cedar Grove Belgium Middle School’s book drive. It was 24 boxes!

It's amazing to see what can happen when others show love. They are really some kind of fifth graders! They probably have no idea of what this means to us. I am going to make sure that they receive a thank you card from our students.

Thanks, David. I know if it were not for you, they would not have known about us. You are the greatest!

Take care, and I will keep in touch.

Thank you,

Loretta McCoy

Thank You so Much for the Books

Dear David,

Thank you so much for the books. As you can see from the pictures, the students are happy to get them. Teachers are too. The Librarian has already started to put them up. You can see how bare our Library is. That's about to change! Thanks to Reader To Reader and you.

The Reading Specialist has a large number of boxes in her room and is distributing them to the K-6 classrooms. We plan to give the reading teacher of grades 7-8 their own sets too.


God bless you and all who help students and schools like ours.

Again, thank you.

Doors to reading have been opened!

"Since 2002, Reader To Reader has been an integral part of the reading program at John Essex High School in Demopolis, AL. John Essex is a small school, housing grades K-12,and at times, its resources are very low. Reader To Reader has helped the students and teachers out a great deal. By placing quality books in the classrooms, doors to reading have been opened for students and they now read more than ever. By sending books for the library, volumes have grown and subject bases are much wider. Reader To Reader has helped provide the foundation for our students' reading futures. We value and appreciate their help so much!"
