TO RECOGNIZE THE CONWAY KIWANIS BOOKCASE FOR EVERY CHILD PROJECT FOR INCREASING LITERACY AND STUDENT RETENTION RATES BY BUILDING PERSONALIZED BOOKCASES AS GIFTS FOR CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE FEDERAL HEAD START PROGRAM.

This resolution formally recognizes the Conway Kiwanis Bookcase for Every Child project for its work providing personalized bookcases and starter book sets to children enrolled in the federal Head Start program in Conway. It acknowledges the project's 20-year history of supporting preschool literacy, particularly for children in low-income households, by building bookcases with nameplates and including donated books, stuffed animals, and bookmarks. The resolution has no policy impact - it serves only as a ceremonial acknowledgment without creating new requirements or funding.
