To the editor:
A big thank you to the Southeast Missourian and Kim McDowell. The $100 I received through a Y.E.L.L. grant has enabled me to purchase several dozen early literacy books. These books will accompany my kindergartners home in their backpacks and will provide many early reading experiences between these young, eager readers and their parents. Thanks again for making such an opportunity possible.
