The Student Leadership Team at Chemeketa Community College in Salem Oregon attepmts to plan this wonderful event yearly (depends on our budget/cuts). Project Page Turner has been going on and off for about 10 years now, and every year it gets more and more exciting to organize. We invite 150-200 elementary school children to enjoy an afternoon of reading, and entertaiment over milk and cookies.
We try to get as many books as possible donated to our project so that each child will be able to take a book (or two) home witht them.
