“I am a third grade teacher at Skyline School in Scottsboro, Alabama. I had a third grade student bring me a print out of your Books on the Bus program. I thought it was such a great idea, I am going to try to help her implement this in our school. I am sure we will have a large amount of books that aren't used just in our elementary classrooms or storage rooms.”
