Forney Retired Educators Association Donates Over 800 Books to Local Students

The Forney Retired Educators Association (FREA) has made a significant contribution to the educational landscape of Forney by donating more than 800 books to prekindergarten and Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) students. This generous gesture aims to foster a love of reading among the youngest learners in the community.

Books to Enrich Young Minds

These books will be distributed to classrooms, allowing students to explore a variety of genres and stories. In a heartwarming initiative, students will also have the opportunity to take books home for the Christmas break, promoting reading outside the classroom and encouraging family engagement in literacy.

Community Support for Literacy

Many citizens expressed thier enthusiasm about the donation, stating, "The love of reading is vital in the success of students. We are so excited that FREA can help!" This sentiment is echoed by many in the community, who recognize the crucial role that reading plays in student success.

A Collective Hope for a Community Library

Local citizens have also voiced their hopes for a public library, emphasizing the importance of accessible reading resources for all ages. One community member remarked, "This is wonderful. I applaud you all in your hard work and efforts! The children will be ecstatic." The desire for a library reflects a broader community commitment to fostering a culture of literacy and learning.

As Forney continues to grow, the collective efforts of organizations like FREA and the aspirations of its citizens highlight the importance of reading and education in shaping the future of the city. With continued support, there is hope that Forney will one day have a library to serve as a central hub for knowledge and community engagement.
