KEARNS — Thousands of grade schoolers in Utah are getting a new book that plants the seed of one day attending college.
Students at Beehive Elementary in Kearns were the first to get the book, "Monte and the World of Possibilities". Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox read it to them, while commissioner Dave Buhler, of Utah's System of Higher Education, told them it is not too early for them and their families to start making plans.
KSL's Read Today program partnered with StepUp Utah to distribute the book to nearly 5,000 students in the Read Today tutoring program. Watch the story to see why the goal is to not only help students, but also the state's economy.
