Kirkland Kiwanis donated over 600 brand new Scholastic books to Rose Hill Elementary and John Muir Elementary on Dec. 3 according to the Lake Washington School District.

Books were donated to both schools by members of the Kirkland Kiwanis group.

On Dec. 7, primary students at Rose Hill Elementary each took turns selecting a book to take home. In addition, all of the first grade teachers at Rose Hill Elementary were given a package of books for each of their four classrooms.

The Muir Elementary books will be handed out to students at the school’s annual Family Literacy Night in March.
