May 16, 2014 • Milwaukee County Post • 3 Post Staff MILWAUKEE – With the help of a White House matching grant, labor and community partners donated 1,000 bilingual books to stu- dents at MPS' Forest Home Avenue School recently. The book donation was celebrated on Cinco de Mayo and intended to support bilingual literacy in Spanish and English, according to a news release from the Wisconsin Education Association Council. Students and educators at Forest Home Avenue School welcomed community part- ners for the book donation and celebration of bilingual literacy. It was organized by educa- tors at Milwaukee Area Technical College and MPS through the American Federation of Teachers Local 212 and the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association. Voces de la Frontera, the Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Healthcare Professionals, Landmark Credit Union and the Latino Student Organization at MATC also con- tributed financially, according to a release. Local organizations raised $2,500, and the White House matched the funds for a total of $5,000, according to the WEAC. The donated books were purchased through First Book, a nonprofit organization that provides access to new books for chil- dren in need. The books are available in classroom libraries through the end of the school year, and each student will choose a book to keep at the end of the year.
