30 Days of Giving 2015: Literacy Matters at FMCC
Fulton-Montgomery Community College Associate Professor of Psychology Dr. Paula Brown-Weinstock and her Child Development class organized a book drive during the month of October. Last year, Gloversville School District’s academic-year theme was “Literacy Matters.” This project was part of an ongoing effort to continue to support the importance of literacy, reminding students of the importance of reading, writing, speaking, and problem solving.
According to Brown-Weinstock, over 620 books were collected and will be donated to Mcnab-Meco Elementary School. Brown-Weinstock and her students used social media to spread the word for book donations, receiving many donations from members in the local communities as well as the faculty and staff at FMCC.
