The textbooks,
which have served all grade levels in English/language arts, math, science,
and social studies subjects, were replaced this year by a new textbook
adoption. The discarded books will be sent to Iraq, where schools are
in desperate need of supplies to replace school materials damaged or destroyed
"It pleases
[the Board of Education] to know that we can help the children of Iraq.
We put students first no matter where they live," said Board President
Katie Reeves. "All children should be afforded the opportunity to
learn. We see this donation as a way Fulton County can help Iraqi schools
educate their youngest citizens so that they will grow into knowledgeable,
well-rounded leaders."
