WHEATLAND – Brian and Trisha Richmond, owners of the Interstate Gas Conoco Station, are committed to contributing to the reading success of Platte County students – one kindergartener at a time.
When the Richmonds bought the gas station, Susan Bednasek approached them about being involved in the Early Literacy Program through the Platte County Library. The Program’s goal is to “get books in the hands of kids.”
Trisha went to all the Kindergarten an Pre-K classes at Libbey Elementary and read the book, “Splat the Cat: I Scream for Ice Cream” by Rob Scotton. Afterwards, she told the kids they just had to bring the letter she was handing out to them to the I–25 Interstate Gas/Conoco Station and they would receive a free book and a free ice cream treat for the month of January.
