Meatheads Buys Books For Audubon Summer Reading Program
The burger restaurant donated funds so each child at Audubon Elementary School could kick off their summer reading program in style.
Audubon Elementary School started its summer reading program with a book for each student thanks to a donation from a new Roscoe Village burger joint.
Over the summer, students are challenged to read 10 books and write small summaries of each one.
Children celebrated the start of the Audubon Summer Reading Challenge Friday morning at the school, 3500 N. Hoyne Ave.
