YOU CAN HELP: Book donations sought for local students

| How to help | West Seattle news | West Seattle schools

That’s a scene that one local teacher hopes to see outside the classroom this summer. And she needs your help. Here’s the announcement:

Roxhill Elementary teacher Neysa Turner aims to keep kids reading this summer. Students need continuous exposure to high-quality books to accelerate growth and continue reaching for new adventures in life and literature. We are looking for book donations to build a mobile lending library for K-12 South Sound students.

Book donations can be dropped off at the following locations:

1. Roxhill Elementary: 9430 30th Ave SW, M-F 7:30 am-3 pm

2. Also at local business Flourish Beauty Salon and Spa, 5962 Fauntleroy Way SW, M-F 10 am- 7 pm; Sat-Sun 10 am- 4 pm

Is there any way I could contact Neysa Turner directly? We would like to provide $$ that she could use in conjunction with our large credit at Pegasus books.

Is there any particular grade level that is needing help?

Thank you so much for your interest! I am interested in books that range from kindergarten to 12th grade.

So happy to see this wonderful opportunity in our community that Neysa is spearheading. We need more like her! No pun intended she is seriously one of the funniest souls you’ll ever meet! Way to be there for the youngsters!

The book drop off box at PCC is overflowing with books. I took a look and pulled the ones that were K-12 appropriate (I’ll drop them off tomorrow with the books I pulled from my own stash), but didn’t do a thorough dig. Might be worth a look!

best,

Amanda
