Dimmitt Community Helps Students Become Better Readers'

Parents, staff and community members are helping Dimmitt students become better readers by donating new or used books in good condition. Dimmitt Middle School, under the leadership of Librarian Miki Pryne, conducted its first-ever book drive from November 17 through December 15.

As part of the schools Accelerated Reader Program, Pryne organized a book drive to provide additional quality literature for students to read during reading advisory period or at home.

We more than reached our goal of 1,500 books. The school will celebrate with a dance, said Pryne. The class that brought in the most books won an ice-cream party.
