HPU freshmen donated 500 copies of their favorite childhood books, which were delivered to nearby Northwood Elementary School. Freshman Education Fellows from HPU’s Stout School of Education read with kindergarten and first-grade students after they delivered the books. Each year, HPU freshmen are asked to share a favorite childhood book during Welcome Week to encourage literacy in the surrounding community. Education Fellows gain real-life experience in the classroom by reading with elementary school students. Cameran Brick was among the 30 freshmen elementary education majors who agreed the experience confirmed her career choice to become a teacher. “It just reassured me that this is what I want to do. It felt good to be back in the classroom, and it felt really good to see how kids are – that they still have the same interest, the same passion and they are so sweet.” #HPU365 #FeelGoodFriday #BookDonation
