Teacher AppreciationMembers of WFCWC put together goodie baskets for teachers at Greenbriar East Elementary and Greenbriar West Elementary to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. We also included framed poems celebrating teachers by one of our members, who was a teacher for many years until she retired.
Books for African Library Project
WFCWC supported a neighborhood book drive to create a school library in Lesotho, a small, mountainous kingdom in Southern Africa. The book drive was on behalf of the African Library Project (https://www.africanlibraryproject.org/), which establishes libraries in rural communities in English-speaking countries in Africa through partnerships with local organizations that specialize in education, library or community development. Club members donated 95 new and used books, ranging from science, math, reference, art, classics, black pride, personal growth, fiction, etc., for 4th through 8th graders.
