Photos with this article

By Duane Bonifer, Lindsey Wilson College Director of Public Affairs

More than four dozen Adair County schoolchildren published their own books Tuesday night at Colonel William Casey Elementary School.

The students - with a little help from their parents and other family members - wrote, illustrated and assembled their pocket-size books as part of "Build A Book" night.



The program was sponsored by students of Lindsey Wilson College's Education Division. About a dozen Lindsey Wilson education students assisted the schoolchildren and their family members.

"This is a great experience for our students because it gives them a chance to experience hands-on learning and to also work with local elementary school students," Associate Professor of Education Melissa Saunier-Arnold said. "It's also a great service to Columbia-Adair County. It's just another opportunity for our students to give back to their community."
The "Build a Book' program at was sponsored by Col. Wm. Casey Elementary PTO and Library, Title I, 21st Century Camp Casey, and the Family Resource Center in conjuction with the school's annual bookfair.Scroll down for photos
