Students for Humanitarian Aid and Awareness, a student-led service club, is hosting a gently used book drive during the week of October 19-23. This year, our club has chosen to focus on literacy in Baton Rouge, and we need your help! Please consider donating children's books that are no longer being read at home. Donated books can be dropped off during morning carpool throughout the week and will help provide reading opportunities for local schools and families. Thank you for supporting literacy in our community!
Go Knights!
