2023-2024 Assistance League of Victor Valley Literacy Award

This past March Assistance League of Victor Valley presented 18 schools in eight High Desert School Districts with chapter books for all of their third grade students!! 4,050 books (most of which were third grade chapter books) were ordered by Assistance League of Victor Valley from The Scholastic foundation. The $8100 book order was received at our Chapter Office in Apple Valley, then unpacked, labeled with book plates, sorted and repacked for delivery by our members. These books were then delivered to just under 1,900 students at 18 schools throughout the High Desert by our members.

Our members enjoyed giving the books as much as the schools, administrators, teachers and students enjoyed receiving them.   We know the students will enjoy these books, not only this school year, but for many school years to come!
