On Friday, we dropped off our Illinois Book Flood books to teachers at Corkery Elementary School in Chicago!

In this version of the Book Flood, fifth grade teachers provided us with three titles of classroom sets they’d like. We delivered two copies of “For Liberty: The Story of the Boston Massacre” as well as 30 copies each of “Wonder,” “Esperanza Rising,” and “Eight Days: A Story of Haiti.”

A big thanks to Special Education teacher, Kate, who helped facilitate this program. Kate is a Highlands and Lyons Township graduate and we were excited to help our fellow classmate’s school.

We hope everyone at Corkery Elementary School has a wonderful school year!
