Hampton High School 2017 graduate donates books to Forrest Elementary School

Kira Bell, a 2017 Hampton High School graduate and first semester senior at George Mason University, donated over 300 books to the students at Forrest Elementary School.


Bell, who is majoring in psychology with a concentration in developmental psychology runs a nonprofit called Bellpeppers (named after her childhood nickname). 


“I have always wanted to work with kids and I have in different capacities,” said Bell. “I am a firm believer that kids can reach all different heights if they have the resources to get there. That’s my mission, to provide kids with every possible tool they need to succeed.”


The books will be distributed to the students during the week before winter break so that the Forrest Rangers can continue to build their libraries at home.
