The Second Grade Johnson Jaguars received a special surprise this week from some very kind people at Channel 10 news.  The employees at Channel 10 News decided to donate their own money to buy books for kids.  The Scripps Howard Foundation and the Scripps family members matched the dollar amount, and together they raised enough money to buy 1,000 books from Scholastic!  They decided that second graders would be their target audience, and they came to Johnson in order to film the actual book give away.  They even brought along Clifford, the Big Red Dog, for fun!  Every single Johnson second grader went home with their own book on Tuesday.  But it didn’t stop there!  Every single second grader at a Title I school in CVUSD will be getting a free book to take home.  Many, many thanks to Channel 10 News, the Scripps Howard Foundation, and the Scripps family members for their thoughtful donation!
