Every
year the BK Key Club sponsors a school wide book drive to benefit public
schools in Rochester that are underfunded. This year the BK Book Drive
Committee decided that P.S. #33 would receive all the collected books. School
#33 is the largest public elementary school in Rochester with over 1200
students throughout the fifty nine classes.
On
Tuesday April 16, nineteen Kearney students along with Mrs. Rachel Shipp,
travelled down the street to School #33 to drop off all the collected books and
school supplies. Once students arrived, they unloaded the boxes of books and
supplies and carried them through the school into the main offices for the Pre-K
and Kindergarten. Splitting off into four groups, the students were given to
opportunity to read to some of the kindergarten classes.
It
was a heartwarming experience to be able to let the kids pick out a book of
their own and read it with them. Some of the visiting BK students even needed
to be pulled away from the smiling kids! Everyone was having such a great time.
Mrs. Rose Urezetta, principal of Pre-K and Kindergarten, said “I’ll send an
email out to the teachers to choose their books, and they will be gone by the
end of the day!”
It
was rewarding seeing the kindergarten classes with their books as they showed
off the stories to their friends and the BK students. Let’s hope the Key Club
can gather even more books next year for this awesome school!
