The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund made its annual book donation to both Washington Elementary and Schuler Elementary.

Shown: Grant Petty, Melanie Petty and Janice Dickerson – school librarian.

Each year the fund donates approximately $1000.00 to help the schools fulfill their wish list for new released books that the kids will enjoy. Reading was always a big part of Trevor’s life so we hope that by keeping the libraries full of current books others will also become avid readers.
