DERBY >> Thanks to the efforts of Irving School’s fourth-graders and a
helping hand from the community, the bookshelves of hospitals and homes serving
Vietnam veterans and their families from here to West Virginia will be
well-stocked.
Students in the school’s reading enrichment program recently wrapped up a
book drive to benefit Vietnam Veterans of America, and collected an impressive
3,158 books. The books will be delivered to various veterans facilities around
the state. According to teacher Edwin Croft, who helped coordinate the
student-run drive, VVA representatives also said some of the books likely will
be shipped to veterans hospitals and homes in West Virginia that are in need of
books.
