Determined to come up with a service project to make a big impact, a group of high school students in Killeen managed to acquire 3,000 new books and completed distribution recently at three schools.
Through the national Leaders Readers Network, Early College High School AVID teacher Meghan Gilliam and 22 students received the books, added labels and encouraging messages and organized them for young recipients.
Half of the group gave away books at Brookhaven Elementary School in Killeen and the other half distributed books at Clear Creek Elementary School on Fort Hood more than a week ago. The whole group completed their final distribution Friday at Rancier Middle School.
