Each month during the academic year, the STLC School Book Readers partner with Omaha Public Schools to read to and provide new Scholastic books for students and their classrooms to encourage reading at school and at home. We serve 1st-3rd Grade students at OPS' Jackson, Benson West, and Bancroft Elementary Schools.

You can serve with this ministry in two ways:

  1. Join the School Book Readers! More readers are always welcome! Please prayerfully consider sharing your time. If you'd like to join in reading to the students, please contact Pastor Heidi at HYoungquist@stlc.org.
  2. Donate to School Books for School Kids! Contributions are continually accepted year-round to purchase the books that are given to students and their teachers for their classrooms. Ways to give:

    • Venmo.com/STLCOmaha. Comment "school books"
