The Subaru Loves Learning (SLL) initiative, which is part of Subaru of America, Inc.’s Love Promise philanthropic platform, partnered with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to donate more than 91,000 award-winning science books to schools across the country since 2015.
As part of the automaker’s commitment to education, participating local Subaru retailers work alongside AAAS to provide students and teachers in schools serving kindergarten through twelfth grade with winning and finalist books of the AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books.
It was through this program that Lancaster County Motors Subaru was able to donate a diverse array of award-winning books to help bridge the gap and further promote science education at Lancaster Catholic High School.
The books that were selected from the winners and finalists of the AAAS/Subaru Prize for Excellence in Science Books, which celebrates outstanding science writing and illustration for children and young adults include:
- Spying on Whales by Nick Pyenson
- Rocket Men by Robert Kurson
- Dig In by Karl Cornell with Photography by Jennifer S. Larson
- Chasing New Horizons by Alan Stern and David Grinspoon
- Built by Roma Agrawal
Science Department Chair, Mrs. Anne Bleistine, was thrilled to have been selected to receive the new science books for Catholic High's classrooms.
"These books can provide extra opportunities to interest and motivate students in science topics," said Bleistine. "From the classroom to science-related clubs, these new books allow students to discover new topics."
