School District of Manatee County

Big day at Palm View K-8! Thanks to Bernie’s Book Bank, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade students received book bags filled with four stories to take home. Executive Director Amy Bott even introduced herself as a “book banker”, which definitely got some excited reactions! Volunteers, many of whom are retired educators, took time to hear students read. With 20,000+ books donated across Manatee and Sarasota counties so far this year, this partnership is just getting started. #ManateeSchoolsGoodNews
