Congratulations to Jessica Garcia a junior at Pioneer High School. She is the first Jefferson award winner this year for the month of September. Jessica was able to individually organize a book drive at Almaden Elementary School for the after school program. Her influence sparked from the knowledge that these students obtained very low reading levels. She believed that the perfect solution would be to provide these children with books to bring home everyday for more practice. Jessica was able to raise over 700 books. “I believe that I changed kids’ lives. Maybe one day they will become teachers or educators all because I gave them a book to take home.” Jessica hopes that her service will inspire other students to get involved and try to help the community in some way.
