San Jose – Delivers the Gift of Learning

Assistance League of San Jose delivered the gift of learning to elementary school students this month. The volunteer group gave children’s encyclopedias to 1,257 second- and third-graders in the Franklin McKinley, Alum Rock Unified, Oak Grove and San Jose Unified school districts. Assistance League past president Pat Passarelli says the group’s Readers Are Leaders program puts volunteers in classrooms to read to kids on a regular basis, too.
