Reading in the Autumn Breeze? Yes Please!
Our Panther Paws of Hope initiative visited Gowanda Elementary School (GES) today with a donation of 20 children’s books to our young panthers in kindergarten!
Author P Lynn is an aspiring self-published children’s book writer. His books, “Promises to ABCs” and “I Am Perfect Just The Way I Am,” focus on adolescent mental health by building positivity and self-confidence. With student mental health a growing concern as we move past the pandemic, we sought to bring these books to our district & students.
We discovered Lynn on the popular social media app TikTok. Various outreach efforts soon followed with GCS faculty and even Lynn himself. Back-and-forth discussions quickly identified the GES kindergarten class as the perfect book audience. After a short summer pause, we are thrilled to finalize this effort to benefit the young student body of GES!
Book Donation Breakdown:
7 – One copy of each book is donated to each of the seven kindergarten classrooms
1 – One copy of each book is donated to the GES library
2 – Two copies of each book are donated to support teacher efforts to supply books for students who do not have access to them at home
