MNEA Gives Back

Missouri NEA wants to give back to members, students, and the education community.

Every year the MNEA president and vice president visit a selection of Missouri schools promoting NEA's Read Across America during the Read-On Book Tour. All the participating schools receive a goody bag full of free books for their library and to give as gifts to students.
