With a little help from their friends at Chick-fil-A, students in Gaithersburg High School’s Advanced Business Management class delivered books and read to second graders at Gaithersburg Elementary School, according to MCPS.
The high school students are members of the Chick-fil-A Leaders Academy and chose to do an impactful project at their feeder school. Richard Munguia, a Gaithersburg High School and Montgomery College graduate, recently opened a Chick-fil-A in Gaithersburg. He donated 800 children’s books; the students bundled them into groups of five and wrote notes to the elementary students.
The older students then visited the school, handed out the 160 bundles and read some of the books to students in seven classrooms. Kimberly Jackson, who teaches the Advanced Business Management class, coordinated the event with Gaithersburg Elementary’s Cynthia Hunt, a reading specialist.
