VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Some local school children received new books Wednesday for their home libraries. International Paper partnered with Scholastic to donate literacy kits to all first graders at Dixie Bee Elementary School.
Each kit contains five books and literacy materials. International Paper’s recycling customer service manager, Chris Badzioch, shared why he feels this is a great way to promote reading.
“I thought it would be a great opportunity especially since my stepson goes to this school and we just want to encourage kids to read, with today’s age and electronics, and games.”
He says each kit also included information about recycling.
