The Fairview School District Superintendent is trying his hand at a new adventure.

Fairview School District Superintendent, Dr. Erik Kincade wrote a children's book called "Earn Your Stripes."

It features "Sam" the tiger, which is the Fairview school district's mascot, and the theme is about teaching elementary students leadership skills.

He wrote it for the Fairview School District, but it got such a positive response, he wants to share it with more students in Erie county, even the state of Pennsylvania.

But he needs the community’s help. So Kincade launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to help pay for printing costs of the book.

Once the book is printed, all proceeds of the book will go toward the non-profit Fairview School Foundations, which funds teacher mini grants, student scholarships, and financial scholarships for low-income students in the district.
