Autumn Hargrove, 7, a 2nd grade student at Springs’ Magnolia Student Center, is donating 100 copies of the children’s book “Our Pledge, Our Promise,” by Sheri Wall to be donated to 100 Magnolia families. The books were purchased with funds raised through a gofundme campaign by Autumn and her mother, Andrea Hargrove, “in response to someone vandalizing and taking down the American flags we placed for the 13 soldiers killed in Afghanistan.”
Andrea continued, “We had an overwhelming response. We were able to purchase 100 flags to donate to families in our community and surrounding communities.”
Leftover money from the campaign was used to buy the children’s books. She explained, “We hope to reach young readers in hopes of having the parents read this to them as well. Maybe we can double the people we reach that way!”
