The John Hoyle Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution once again has provided approximately $400 of new books to be placed in the backpacks of Southwest Middle School and Longview Elementary School students, K-8, who receive weekend and summer nutrition assistance from the Catawba County Social Services. The Chapter's goal is to see that the 120 children in the program own at least one book with an emphasis on American history.

County Social Services said that some of the children are reluctant to receive food in their backpacks, but when they know they are getting a book, you can't hold them back! Some of the students do not have one book in their homes. The teachers have commented on the quality of the books.
The table display represents a sampling of the titles we were able to purchase for the children.
