MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) â For the fifth consecutive year, fourth graders in the greater Mankato area take home their very own copy of Shel Silversteinâs âWhere the Sidewalk Endsâ poetry book.
âThanks to the Olseth Family Foundation, we were able to give out 1,600 books to fourth graders all around the region,â said Laura Murray, communications and marketing manager at the Greater Mankato Area United Way.
For the next few weeks, the United Way will deliver books to students in Blue Earth, Le Sueur, Nicollet and Waseca counties.
