Congratulations to NCJW/Cleveland's youngest volunteer, nine-year-old Twinsburg resident Abby Weissberg (on the left), on being selected a Kohl's Care scholarship winner. Abby was awarded the honor for her volunteer work with NCJW/Cleveland. 

In the past year, Abby has collected more than 600 books for NCJW's Partner in Reading program, organized a back pack and school supply drive for students in need as part of NCJW's Share What You Wear program, and helped sort and fold clothes for Operation Warm Up. We feel very lucky to have her support! Congratulations Abby on your well-deserved win!   (Click here for full bio of Abby as seen in the December ebulletin)

THANK YOU!

Partners in Reading would like to thank the students, faculty, and staff of Hilltop School in Beachwood for donating books from their Book Drive to our programs.  The students donated many books, and we will make sure they get to children who will use, love and appreciate them! Hilltop is one of the schools where we have a successful fifth grade Book Club, and we love that the students and faculty appreciate what we do and wanted to help!  

Keep us in mind when you have books to donate!  We especially can use fourth through sixth grade chapter books.  Email Debbie Joseph at josdeb@aol.com with questions.
