I was so fortunate as to attend tonight’s Open House at Osborne Elementary School. Seeing the kids’ eager faces, the teachers’ dedication, and the parents’ support made me hopeful for this new school year. \u00a0It was an exciting night. \u00a0Their cheerleaders and dance team performed, and three bikes were raffled off to some very lucky kids!<\/p>\n
Back in the Spring, Liberty Autos became Osborne Elementary School’s Business Partner, which means that we support Osborne students and faculty through volunteers, cultural enrichment opportunities, as well as provide equipment and supplies.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago, Osborne’s administration let me know that their students need books. \u00a0They have a nice library at the school, but many students don’t have their very own books at home. \u00a0Liberty Autos was happy to help. \u00a0I come from a family of readers who love to share books. \u00a0There’s something magical about stepping into the world of a book. \u00a0The Liberty team came together and provided over a hundred books for Osborne.<\/p>\n
I was the lucky one who got to hand out the books at Open House tonight. \u00a0When kids passed by my table, they couldn’t believe that they could just take a book. \u00a0It was wonderful to see them choose which one they wanted. \u00a0Some kids carefully looked through book after book, while other kids took the one off the top of the stack and ran! \u00a0My joy at watching the kids was bittersweet though. \u00a0Several kids would take a book back to their table, read the whole thing, and then politely asked if they could switch it for another selection. \u00a0Those hungry minds were making the most of the opportunity to read as much as they could. \u00a0I wish I had a hundred books for every single kid there. \u00a0I’m glad we were able to give what we gave, and I heartily look forward to the next opportunity to support Osborne’s students and faculty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
