Miss Vargas Classroom Drop-Off - October 30, 2009

Posted by Tyler Hilton

OK! Let me tell you about what I just got finished doing today. TH Books For Kids had finally gathered enough books to help Miss Vargas' 4th grade class in Pico Rivera, CA so we delivered them to the elementary school. I showed up with some folks from the charity and that's when we were greeted by 30 kids singing When It Comes in it's entirety. All of them in matching school shirts and choreography. AHHH! I just could not stop smiling. If helping this bookless classroom wasn't worth the trip on it's own, I tell ya, this performance sure was.

I sang 'em a couple songs and had a group sing along to When It Comes at the end. I have footage of it that's pretty priceless on THBooksForKids.org. So, thank you, thank you to all of you who sent those books in. We received way more than our goal. That was all you! Thanks also to Sarah for alerting us to Ms. Vargas' class' needs! We always take suggestions of where we can direct our book collecting and distributing so sign on to the the charity website and let us know if you have any ideas. Good team effort!

Tyler,

That is absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful idea. I work at a charter school that is about to lose a lot of funding and we'd just gotten started with our little room library. You are doing an awesome thing! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
