JaZams, Princeton Schools Donate Books To Kids In Need

PRINCETON, NJ — JaZams, donors and Princeton Public Schools worked together to provide books for elementary school children to read over spring break while they are home due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The books were provided to Princeton students in the free and reduced lunch program. The program may continue or be expanded in future weeks.

The books were distributed by Transportation Director Donna Bradin and multiple drivers and aides including: Bill Flagg, Michele Davis, Jeff Snelson, Tania Villavicencio, Cindy Clausen, Ana Osoria, Pammie Vandermark, and Deysi Pando.

"We would love to thank Donna for her help with the JaZam's book delivery project and also eight of her bus drivers helped. Johnson Park Principal Bob Ginsberg and a generous donor (who prefers to be unnamed) started this effort and deserve credit for making it happen. Also, the Jazam's people have been wonderful and gave a big discount for the book purchases," Princeton Public Schools stated.
