Thank you for help with RIF

To the editor:
On behalf of Jay School Corporation’s Reading is Fundamental program, I would like to take this time to thank all of the Jay County businesses, industries and not-for-profit organizations for their generous contribution to this wonderful reading program.
The Reading is Fundamental program, known as RIF, allows each student in grades kindergarten through five to receive a free book of their choice. It is usually distributed with a theme for what is going on in the individual school or some kind of national event encouraging how important reading is in the learning process.
Our local distribution reaches more than 1,500 students in all seven of our county elementary schools. For some of the students, it might be their only book they will ever have in their home.
This program has been made possible by the following contributors and the National RIF Foundation for 2012-13: Bixler Insurance/Stockton Real Estate, Delta Theta Tau XI Chapter, First Bank of Berne, Pennville Lions Club, Portland Morning Optimist, Portland Rotary Foundation, Tri-Kappa-Beta, CrossRoads Financial, Dayton Progress, Delta Theta Tau of Dunkirk, FCC (Indiana, Friends of the Library, Gamma Alpha Psi Iota Xi of Portland, Gamma Nu Sorority, Portland Evening Optimist, Portland Lions Club, Portland Moose Lodge #417, Tri-Kappa-Alpha, West Jay Optimist and the Dunkirk Lions Club.
Again, thank you for investing in our biggest asset in Jay County — our children!
Sincerely,
Trent Paxson
Director of testing and assessment
