This week鈥檚 A+ Award winner, Andy, a senior at North Royalton High School in North Royalton, is doing his part to make sure children all over the Cleveland area have access to books.
After volunteering at the Cleveland Kids鈥� Book Bank, he was inspired and motivated to organize a book drive to help collect books for the organization.
The Cleveland Kids鈥� Book Bank is an organization that provides free books to children in need. In partnership with North Royalton City Schools, the Broadview Heights Recreation Center, St. Adelbert the Great Parrish, and his neighborhood, Andy placed collection bins all over the community where people could donate books!
Andy added that he鈥檚 very proud of his community for their enthusiasm. He knows that the books that were donated will find their way to children all over the area. One of his goals is to help other children find a love of reading.
He told us that the project taught him a lot about leadership, collaboration, communication, and organizational skills.
Congratulations Andy for being this week's A+ award winner!
