SUPPORT A CHILD IN MY CLASS FOR JUST $9!

It's that time of year again! I am so excited about my new group of students and want to share my love and passion for reading with them! When I send home the monthly Scholastic Book Flyer, you should hear the sounds of 😁 excitement. They have fun looking through the catalogs and selecting books they would like to have. It's great and warms my ❤️ but many of my students can't afford to purchase books. It makes me feel so 😔 because those are often the students who need the most support and exposure to fun and enriching 📚.

One of the best things about Scholastic Book Clubs is that every month, they offer at least one high-interest book for only $2!

Here's the idea:
I would love for each child in my class to bring home one new book every month during the school year from September to May! If I select a $2.00 book each month, that comes out to only $18 per child. To make this happen, each child will need to be sponsored by two people, bringing the donation request to just $9 per person. Would anyone be interested in sponsoring a child in my classroom this school year?

You would send the $9 to me, and that child would get a NEW book to keep at home EVERY month!

Any additional donations are used to purchase more books that are not on the dollar list, donate books to students in other classes in my school, or purchase other supplies that students may need throughout the school year.

Since starting this project four years ago, our 5th graders have set records FOUR TIMES for the highest 5th grade reading test scores in the history of the school, despite "learning loss" and the pandemic! Getting books in their hands is SO important, so thank you for all of your support!
