NIKISKI — A group of Nikiski High School students are spearheading an effort to get more books into the hands of Kenai Peninsula middle school students.
The Peninsula Clarion reports that the club, called T-books, works to fundraise and purchase reading materials suitable for middle school students and then personally drop them at school sites in the area.
The club has been operating for three years but this year expanded their reach all the way to the Hope School at the edge of the Kenai Peninsula. Before books only went to students in Nikiski, Kenai and Soldotna.
Group founder and high school senior Savannah Rizzo chose to target middle school students because they are at the age where a love of books can really take hold, she said.
