The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund recently donated snacks to the Griswold Public Library for their kids reading program. Lisa Metheny with the Griswold Public Library told members of the Foundation, that they have up to 16 kids come to the library after school to read for at least 20 minutes.

Like all kids after school they are hungry so the library gives them a treat once their reading is completed. Trevor’s mom, and Fund spokesperson Melanie Petty, said in a press release, that “Since Trevor was such a big reader we felt this was a good fit for us to help out.”

The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund also purchased a large amount of used children’s books while they were there and donated them to the Cass County Creators 4H Group. The Cass County Creators have been collecting books for a service project for the last couple weeks to hand out during the Washington Elementary conferences this week in Atlantic.

All the books collected will be given out to children in grades Jr. Kindergarten through 3rd Grade. Petty says “Any time you can get a book or two in a child’s hands it’s a WIN!”
