So far, reports state that Philadelphia, LA, Erie PA, St. Paul, Flint Michigan, and El Monte California are on the schedule list. Students will receive 2 free books and Teachers will receive 10 free books.
"Abbott Elementary" doesn't stop there. Show front runner and creator, Quinta Brunson, told NPR that she redirected some of the show's marketing money to help teachers buy school supplies.
“It’s about being able to make those kinds of decisions that really excite me, things that can really materially help people." Making a difference and giving back to the community. Round of applause.
Talk about giving back!!! I applaud this young queen for seeing the need and filling it. Now if others would only follow suit
