B'nai Mitzvah Projects
Help our wonderful B'nai Mitzvah students complete their projects!
SEPTEMBER 20, 2008

Many children in St. Louis have very few, if any, books to read at school and at home. Ready Readers is a nonprofit program that gives books to preschoolers in Saint Louis City and County so they start to love to read. The program also finds and trains volunteers to read every week in Head Start and other preschool programs. This past year, more than 200 volunteers read 6,000 preschoolers every week.
I am doing a book drive for Ready Readers as part of my mitzvah project. If you have great books for preschoolers that you no longer use, the program need books that are:
- 1) Good quality
- 2) New or almost new
- 3) Non-religious and not related to a tv show or comic book!
There’s a bright red box in the CRC lobby where you can donate books. They will help kids get a “head start” for kindergarten by building their classroom libraries and giving the volunteer readers more books to share.
Thank you! Jon Kibel
