Nash Elementary School students receive six free books each

Monday, that generous support paid off in the form of six free books for each student at Nash Elementary School in the Amphi School District.

"You're not only helping our students, you're helping our community," said Nash Principal Dr. Laura Beccera."We had one student selecting books for his siblings and he's not only thinking about himself he's thinking about his family, and this is the type of students that we have." Representatives from the school tell KGUN 9 that most of the school's population, made up of about 300 students, come from low-income neighborhoods. They say some of the students don't have books of their own at home.

This year's fundraising drive was able to raise enough money to get 1,822 books for the students and the school. If you would like to support future book donations and childhood literacy, KGUN 9's 'If You Give A Child A Book' accepts year-round donations at our website.Anne Simmons is a digital content producer for KGUN 9.

Before joining KGUN, she managed multiple public access television stations in the Bay Area and has worked as a video producer in the non-profit sector.

Parents anxious over potential elementary school closures in BellevueSeven elementary schools are on the potential closure list including: Phantom Lake, Wilburton, Woodridge, Sherwood Forest, Ardmore, Enatai and Eastgate. The district has cited declining enrollment as the biggest factor. This is shocking to me. Seems to me parents praise Bellevue schools. I thought even heard waiting list to get in some language classes such. Personally I moved to lake Washington school district as I thought was better. Isn’t Wilburton a newer school? Tax dollars spent Eastgate Elementary was where I fell in love with weather as a 2nd grader (and KIRO7Seattle's Harry Wappler came to visit our class!). I hope these schools can be saved. BellevueSchools 🍎 If they'd stop aborting kids they would still be a need for schools.

With start of National School Choice Week, here's where Texas stands on school vouchersThe issue has taken on new urgency as Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick have repeatedly said they intend to push harder this year for a policy to spread tax dollars from public schools to private schools or home schools. Good. Entrusting one's children to government-run schools is parental malpractice per se. Stealing tax payer money for private schools. Typical ploy by Republicans
