Learning Tree and Central High School's Sophomore Literature and Composition
class have facilitated similar project in the past. The high school
students visit the children twice. First they come to the daycare
center, spend time with and read to the children, then they go back to
their class and write stories of their own. The second time they
come back, they read to the children again. The literature students then
donated their books to The Learning Tree.
