Message from Murphy Elementary School

Hi Rock For Reading group!

I just wanted to tell you how much the students at our school appreciated the books that you donated. The students were excited to be reading non-fiction text, but were thrilled to find out that they got to keep these books and add them to their home libraries.The teachers and staff were overwhelmed by your generous donation to the reading development at our school.  Most of our students don’t own many books and you could tell they were very excited to share these books with their family.  As our assistant principal, Jesse Tang said, “the first step for reading success is putting books in students hands”.  Thanks to your work, we are closer to accomplishing that goal.
Thank you again!  This was a wonderful experience for everyone involved!
