&lt;p&gt;JEROME A. POLLOS/Press Hannah Hall sits with her classmates as members of the North Idaho College wrestling program read a book Wednesday which was purchased through the Shirley Parker Reading Program. The school event marked the 10,000 book donated to every first-grade student in the Coeur d'Alene School District since the program was started in 2002 in partnership with Parker Toyota. The program was was formed in honor of Doug Parker&#146;s late wife, Shirley, who was a supporter of both wrestling and reading. The wrestling team holds a fundraiser at the end of its preseason to support the program. The players collect pledges toward their completion of a mountain climb in Hope, Idaho, typically raising about $1,000 that goes toward the purchase of books for every first-grader in the Coeur d&#146;Alene School District. Each week during the season, NIC wrestlers and coaches visit a local elementary school to read to the first-graders. The children are encouraged to take their book home to continue practicing their reading skills in addition to receiving a bookmark and poster of the wrestling team.&lt;/p&gt;
