MEREDITH — A grant awarded by the Heart and Hands Thrift Shop to the Meredith Altrusa Literacy Committee provided the funds to purchase age appropriate magazines such as 'Humpty Dumpty,' 'Jack and Jill' and 'Junior Scholastic' for younger students and paperback books for students 16 and older. Thanks to the cooperation of Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes, their weekly, lunch grocery deliveries periodically included these magazines and paperbacks, packaged for each family by the Altrusa Literacy Committee to feed and nurture student summer reading growth and enjoyment.
