Stevenson club collects books

Edufund, a Stevenson High School club dedicated to helping underfunded Chicago-area schools, collected 5,107 books during last weekend’s Buffalo Grove Farmer’s Market. The books will go to poor students around Lake County. The collection effort was part of the “Page It Forward” book drive for United Way of Lake County and Bernie’s Book Bank. Edufund members Jed Stone, Dan Klebanov, Steven Kislenko, Dennis Kontorovich and Jimmy Chang, along with eighth-grader Mike Bevente, helped run the event.
