Farmers Branch Elemenatry
Receives Books
Farmers Branch Elementary received 1,450 brand-new on-level books for each grade
from a school partner, Voyager Expanded Learning. Voyager employees raised money
to purchase new books for FBE students to take home at least one per student.
They exceeded their goal and hope to develop a student-run bookstore
with the excess books. The students had a fantastic time choosing from the tables
of books and were excited that they were able to take home their book for free!
Not only does Voyager donate books to FBE, but they also give their time. Last
year they had 14 volunteers act as mentors and tutors with students,
and
even more for the school’s fall carnival. They also help in other ways,
with school supplies drives, coat drives, and holiday assistance.
