“I cannot thank the Nana's Books Foundation enough for their kind and generous gift to our schools. Alzheimer's awareness and understanding are vital for our students. Alzheimer's has touched many of our lives in a very real and personal way. The better we can educate our students, the better they will be able to assist and support those experiencing the disease.”
Thomas McGurl, Superintendent of Granville Central Schools
“Students, faculty and staff extend a warm thank you for the donation of books for our children. The donated titles were used in our classrooms and provided children with a book to read at home. The Mary J Tanner school family appreciates this generosity.”
