Students donate about 1,000 books to send to Texas

Shasta Elementary gathers books for Hurricane Harvey victims Students donate about 1,000 books to send to Texas Fourth-grade students at Shasta Elementary School wanted to make sure children like themselves in Texas have books to read in school, or for their parents to read to them at home. 

That’s why, after Hurricane Harvey, they decided to run a book drive for schools in Texas. From Sept. 19 through Sept. 29 they filled 17 boxes with books, totaling 710 pounds. That amounted to about 1,000 books to send hurricane ravaged schools.
