(KLZA)--Two big surprises for Johnson County Central Schools were delivered Wednesday.
Representatives of the Dollar General Corporation presented a pair of $25,000 checks. One for Johnson County Central Elementary School, and one for Johnson County Central High School.
Dollar General Regional Director Kris Wold said in a news release, “Dollar General is passionate about its mission of Serving Others, and was excited to surprise the schools with these donations to further their reading and literacy programs.”
The donations are part of the Dollar General “Reading Revolution Program.”
The money will be used to provide schools with additional resources, purchase books, computers and other educational supplies to enhance their reading and literacy programs.
The Johnson County Central Schools in Tecumseh were chosen for donations because of their strong community contributions to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation through the Cash Cube program
