Kotzebue Middle School Youth Leaders assist with book distribution
The Kotzebue middle school students involved in the Student Leaders Group demonstrated their dedication as community leaders. Nineteen students volunteered to assist Mrs. Tyree in the inventory and distribution of thousands of books on April 21.
The books were purchased with Title I and Migrant Education funds, and were chosen from a high interest-reading list for school age children. The student leaders took great interest in the books made available to students K-11 as a part of a summer reading program. The volunteer students received an ice cream blizzard coupon from the local restaurant for work well done. However, the highlight of the day was when the students asked if they could choose a book from those remaining after the distribution had been made, as they were excited by many of the titles available. How encouraging for educators to be asked by students to have a book for personal reading. The students showed great potential in expanding their academics and becoming future community leaders.
