On November 3, REALTORS® representing the Lexington-Bluegrass Association of REALTORS® (LBAR) visited the North Middletown, Cane Ridge and Bourbon Central Elementary on Tuesday and presented character-building children’s books to the Bourbon County Public School System.

Each school received Enemy Pie by award-winning author Derek Munson. In its second year, Melissa Poynter, the chair of the LBAR Community Education Task Force, has continued to lead this project. REALTOR ® Local Realtor® Paul Campbell read the story to students at Bourbon Central Elementary School.

This story follows a young boy and his father as they work to turn the boy’s “Best Enemy” into his “Best Friend”. The book stresses the importance of tolerance and relationship building amongst children.

This contribution to Bourbon County is a part of a larger donation to the elementary schools in the Bluegrass region—LBAR will be presenting the book to 103 elementary schools in the region. The project is part of LBAR’s goal to become involved with the area’s school systems in innovative ways that will positively shape the future of our community’s children.

As the region’s leading advocate for homeownership, Lexington-Bluegrass Association of REALTORS® understands the value and joy of owning a home. LBAR represents more than 2,300 REALTORS® located in Anderson, Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Franklin, Garrard, Jessamine, Montgomery, Nicholas, Powell, Scott and Woodford Counties.
