On December 12, 2005, Kids to Kids added Jay W. Jeffers Elementary School to its list of schools being served by the program.

Kids to Kids volunteers, partners, teachers and students were on hand for a reading, skit, and book distribution.

It takes a lot of helping hands to get books into the hands, and homes, of Nevada's at-risk kids. These are just some of the Kids to Kids volunteers and partners who make the program happen.
