BOOK CLUB FUNDRAISER EARNS $745 Our first two fundraisers for Book Clubs this year raised a total of $745.85.
The Las Charras sold homemade tamales and baked goods to raise money to buy 5 Kindles. When they turned on their Kindles for the first time, one of the young ladies got teary eyed as she saw her name pop up on the screen. I think it is important to remember that not everyone has access to technology on a daily basis. The Kindle will allow these girls to have access to not only books, but to productivity and learning apps as well. The LitChicks put together baskets and held a silent auction at both evenings of Parent Teacher Conferences as well as the last home football game on Friday, October 23rd. Thanks to many generous donations and bids from people in the community, we raised $535 toward new books. |
