Students write grant, donate books to retirement home

Scott Burch teaches 5th grade at Mt. Tabor Elementary School. He believes the grant to provide books to Providence Retirement Home is a win-win situation for the students and residents. The students chose the books they thought the residents would remember as well as some newer titles. The books are large print for the residents' library. The Youth Philanthropy Council provided the $500 grant.. Photograph of Elizha Weston reading to resident Sarah Weir accompanies the article.
