For his Eagle project, Austin Engros is leading a book drive to collect books for a book fair to be held at PS 385X in the Bronx. Austin is collecting children’s books for reading levels K through 4th grade and we will then prepare summaries of the books. Scouts will match the books to the interest and reading levels of the students at PS 385X. The objective is to get the students more excited about reading and to find for them books that match their individual interests. Anyone with any used books for children in K through 4th grade who would like to make a donation should call Austin at either 914-961-3922 or 914-582-3328. We will finish collecting books on Saturday, March 7 and will conduct the book fair in the Bronx on Friday, March 20.
