Raise the Roof With Books
As you know, we have implemented the AVID program this year for our students. Part of this initiative is to increase stu-dent’s exposure to more rigorous reading, particularly non-fiction. The non-fiction inventory in our Media Center is be-coming outdated. Therefore, we created this initiative as a way of raising needed funds to purchase new books. Due to the gen-erous donations of some of our parents , neighbors and com-munity businesses, we have raised $5,800.00! Please consider donating to this very important cause. With a $15.00 dona-tion, a bookplate with your name will be placed inside a newly purchased non-fiction book. If you would like to donate, please complete the form below. Clearly print the name you would like to have printed on the bookplate. Thank you, in ad-vance, for helping to reach our goal of $10,000.
