Wells Fargo is donating 1,000 books to elementary school students in the Sacramento City Unified School District this morning as part of the Reading First program.
The books are being delivered to the Sequoia Elementary School Library, where Wells Fargo employees will read to kindergarten and second-grade students.
The donated books include "Llama Llama Red Pajama" and "I Will Never Not Eat a Tomato." The Wells Fargo reading program has donated more than one million books to classrooms.
"We want our kids to love books and love reading because early literacy is a key to high academic achievement," said Raymond in a press release. "I commend Wells Fargo for its support of the district and interest in the literacy of our children. These books help us toward our goal of preparing every child for college or a career."
