This Year’s Elementary School Book Project Another Great Success

On December 18, 2019, a group of volunteers from the GBA delivered holiday cheer and more than 200 well-wrapped books to the K-5 students in the Traditional English program at David D. Jones Elementary School.  As always, the children were happy and excited to receive their gifts.  As in years past, the books were purchased through Jones Elementary’s Scholastic Book Fair, which provides the school with points that can be used to purchase new books for the school library and classrooms.  Thanks go to the GBA members who donated this year to reach a total of $2,958.61 and to those who took the time and care to wrap the books at the GBA Holiday Party on December 11.  Sufficient funds were raised to purchase additional books as gifts for all fifth graders graduating from Jones Elementary this year in both the Traditional English and Spanish Immersion programs as well as to make a donation to the school’s Food Bank.

The GBA would like to thank the following individuals and groups for their generosity in donating to the annual Elementary School Project:
