SANDPOINT — A group of seniors from Sandpoint High School took time to give back to local children at the Sandpoint Learning Center on Thursday.
Students from the Spanish DC 202 read bilingual books to preschoolers in an effort to promote learning of a second language in Sandpoint. Post-secondary Transition Counselor at SHS, Jeralyn Mire said the books were purchased with mini grants from Underground Kindness, a nonprofit that focuses on supporting education.
“The SHS SPAN 202 plans to continue working with the SCLC by reading bilingual books and fun hands-on activities,” Mire said.
Mire said the grant allowed the school to purchase four sets of bilingual books, which range from teaching children about colors to feelings. She said the students have three more sets to work through and look forward to returning to the SCLC.
