Attention Book Blaster families!
Time is ticking to earn our students more books! You can contribute through the invitation from your favorite student or make a school-wide contribution through Sunday night.
Don't forget!
When you register and send 10+ invitations, it helps classroom teachers earn shopping sprees for classroom supplies or books. Thanks for supporting our teachers!
Thank you to everyone in our community and beyond that have contributed to our Book Blast event! Your support will help students take home as many books as possible, up to 10 each. In our quest to promote literacy and reading, every new book is like gold to be treasured!
