FRESNO, CA (November 7, 2025) |
Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU) was proud to partner with Disney, ABC30, and First Book to bring the Magic of Storytelling to children at Addams Elementary School in Fresno on November 6.
As a sponsor of the program, EECU helped ensure each child at the school was able to select a brand-new book to take home from a variety of books.
EECU President and CEO Elizabeth J. Dooley joined Addams Elementary School Principal Natanska Valtierra and Library Media Technician Jessica Medrano in welcoming students into the library for story time and to pick out a book to take home.
“We’re so proud to give back to the community in this way,” Dooley said. “Not only does this put a smile on these children’s faces, but it helps foster a lifelong love of reading and learning that will benefit the whole community for years to come.”
The mission of the “Magic of Storytelling” program is to cultivate the next generation of storytellers, while encouraging children to imagine, dream, and explore through books.
“For many of our students, taking home a brand-new book is a very special experience,” Medrano said. “It sparks their imagination and reminds them that reading can open doors to endless possibilities.”
By partnering with national organizations like Disney and First Book, EECU continues its commitment to education and the local community by providing resources that help children succeed both inside and outside the classroom. To learn more, visit myEECU.org.
