Only 5 more days until the Book Fair begins! Let’s get ready for the fair by turning in
our “dreamy dimes” donations today. All
donations go to our “All for Books” coin challenge which benefits our students
and teachers’ classrooms. Tomorrow we
will be collecting captivated quarters.
The winning grade level of the “All for Books” coin challenge will be
receiving “enchanted treats”.
For every dollar we raise, Scholastic donates a book to a
literacy charity to help kids and families in need! Yesterday you donated a total of $128.49 in
enchanted nickels for the “All for Books” coin challenge. The total money donated so far is
$185.08. Second Grade has donated the
most money at $58.73. First grade is
second in the coin challenge with $38.40 donated. Let’s give a big shout out to the preschool
for donating $25.50 in nickels yesterday!
Thank you to everyone for your donations.
