1 book a month mailed to your home from MRH ECC enrollment to 5 years old at no cost to you
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program sponsored by MRH ECC PTO that mails high-quality books every month to children up to five years old. The program is focused on inspiring a love of books and reading for all preschool children.
How Dolly Parton Imagination Library was brought to the MRH ECC despite not being in a coverage area:
In 2018, Nikylan Knapper (then the co-chair of the MRH ECC PTO, and now Mayor of Maplewood) had an idea to bring Imagination Library to the ECC. She had relocated from Tennessee where the program is available to all children and was disappointed it was not available in our area of St. Louis. After a year of hard work and partnership with the United Way of Greater St. Louis, the MRH ECC PTO was able to engage in a 5 year agreement to fully fund Imagination Library for all MRH ECC students up until their 5th birthday. The program was officially launched in 2019 and is one of the most impactful ways the MRH ECC PTO serves students.
