CLARK COUNTY – Two members of the Jeffersonville City Council visited Pike Elementary on Tuesday to read to school children in partnership with an organization that sponsors after-school programs.
Donna Reed, city council president, and Bill Burns read to students in grades 1-5 during a “readers with leaders” event hosted by Youth Link Southern Indiana, a nonprofit that works closely with Greater Clark County Schools to remove learning barriers for children facing difficult circumstances.
