On Friday morning, representatives from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and School in Fort Atkinson delivered a gift of board books to the Obstetrics Department at Fort Memorial Hospital.
These books are intended to be given out as gifts to new babies delivered at the Fort Atkinson hospital.
The donation is a result of a “Board Books for Babies” book drive held this past March at both St. Paul’s school and church. The book drive was organized by St. Paul’s Outreach Committee and promoted internally.
St. Paul’s School also used $500 of Scholastic Book money that it had accrued to purchase additional board books through Scholastic. A total 121 new books were donated to the book drive.
This book drive was held as a means for St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and School to give back to the Fort Atkinson community and as a way to offer a small birthday present to the new little blessings born at the hospital.
