439 books donated to Estes Park elementary school students Despite falling short during fundraising — businesses again just aren’t able to give this year as they have in prior years — the Plant a Book, Grow a Child Program was able to place 439 books into the hands of 282 local elementary school students last week during the Scholastic Book Fair. To pull it off, the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club, which currently runs the program, and Bank of Estes Park agreed to simply split the difference of the budget shortfall, and both wrote big checks to ensure that the program was fully funded for one more year.
