A Clinton business has stepped up with a big donation to help further the efforts of school leaders to help their students maintain their reading skills away from school.
Miller Container made a $5,000 donation to the Read Across Clinton program and Lincoln and Douglas Schools Principal Beth Wickenhauser says this is a big boost to the program's efforts and will allow them to offer more books to their youth.
Earlier this week on Regional Radio News, we outlined the importance of students continuing to read while they are away from the classroom. Wickenhauser notes it only takes about ten minutes per day to help a child maintain their reading levels.
