Team of Rotarians and students from North Little Rock High School's EAST program entered personalized information for books for more than 574 kindergarten students district-wide.
Hundreds of North Little Rock kindergarten students heard stories on Thursday with some familiar characters.
Under the "I Like Me" program, volunteers read to the students from a book in which the student and his or her friends, teacher, principal and school each played a role.
About 100 volunteers, including members of the North Little Rock Rotary Club, staff from the mayor's office, NLRSD employees, and 20 officers with NLR Police Department distributed the personalized books to 574 kindergarteners in the district.
The personalized information for the students was entered by a team of six Rotarians and 20 students from the NLRHS EAST class in a computer lab at school.
Many of the high school student volunteers still have their own "I Like Me" books from kindergarten, according to one member of the Rotary Club.
