Why I love this program:
· It’s guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student!
· 100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies. Books will be delivered to the school a few weeks after the event ends.
· The booklist is fantastic! It’s attached; check it out.
· It will take you about 7 minutes. There is NO financial requirement of you.
· Don’t worry. All the information you provide is secure and only used for this program.
More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That’s the goal. We’re hoping for 100% participation.
Thank you for helping our students and our school!
