The Huntington County Literacy Coalition made its annual book donation to second-graders at Horace Mann, Flint Springs and Lincoln elementary schools on Friday, Sept. 17, as part of the national Adult Education and Family Literacy Month. Pictured are (from left) Lincoln second-grader Haylee Penn, Lincoln Principal Adam Drummond, Coalition Vice President Patti Souers, Coalition President Karen Street, and Coalition board members Julie Monce and Sue Rumple, as the group stopped by Lincoln Elementary. Second-graders received a free book and goodie bag. This is the second year the Coalition has stopped by schools, and the year prior to that donations were handed out through the Youth Services Bureau's Tools for Life school supply program, says Street.
