DonorsChoose.org Donation website for classroom and library needs.
I want to make sure our students have the materials they need to succeed. In order to not take any money away from our ability to purchase new books for our students, I created a request for my classroom at DonorsChoose.org:
iPad Mini for Library Catalog Use With Students
If you click on the link above, you will find out more about the materials we are needing and how they will be used.
Anyone can chip in to help our students and when the request gets fully funded you will be notified and receive awesome photos of the students using the new materials and our heartfelt thanks.
Thank so much,
Mrs. Hodges
P.S. The Town Crier Bookstore in downtown Emporia also can take monetary donations for our school library to use at their store.

Book Fair Follow-up
The book fair was a big success! Parents, thank you for all the goodies you provided, time you volunteered, and money you spent to encourage the importance of reading in your home. Each elementary class will get to celebrate this week with a piñata party! The money raised from the book fair went to buy new books for our classroom teachers and our school library. A special thank you to our grandparents and special guests who were able to visit and each lunch during our lunch event! It really made for an extra special experience for the students. Thank you also to our lunch ladies, staff, and teachers for your flexibility and willingness to make this event special! I hope the book fair stirred up some excitement for reading in your home. Many students have visited the library already this week to tell me about the book they read over spring break or to ask to see what new books we have in the library!
