A Crowder High School senior organized an event that will send around 100 books to pediatric wings in Oklahoma hospitals.
Judah Owen said her passion to help children motivated her to organize the book drive that had four donation sites and an Amazon link available for donations.
âMy passion is helping kids,â Judah said. âI love helping the kids and I love being surrounded by kids.â
Crowder Public Schools students and faculty also donated books to the event with Judah saying âthe preschool and kindergarten all donated a book each.â
As I looked back at the News-Capital s stories from 2020, it was a reminder of the challenges our community faced — yet provided hope for the new year.
