Reading and books are such an important and abundant part of most of our lives. We sometimes take for granted the joy of checking out a book and the excitement of walking into a library filled with books! Children in Africa are able to experience this feeling because of Libraries of Love.
Watch this video to learn more:
We are so excited that our Walk to Read Event which we benefit Libraries of Love will be on March 9 at 1:45 pm. Each child and staff member will walk with a book and hopefully will donate that book at the end of the walk for Libraries of Love. New or gently used hard back books and/or money can be donated to help restock the libraries in Kenya and Uganda.
Here is info about the Walk to Read Event last year that is found on the Libraries of Love website. Read about Laurel Mountain Elementary then scroll down to find information about Forest Creek.
We have about 600 books so far and need lots more to match our 1,266 books donated by our school last year. Thank you in advance for cleaning out your bookcases and encouraging your children, family, and friends to do the same.
Thank you for your support of reading and children around the world. Thank you for facilitating that giving spirit in your children and encouraging them to share their love of reading and help others.
Walk to Read-Students changing students' lives, one book at a time.
If you have any questions, contact Pam_bartholomew@roundrockisd.
Sincerely,
FCE Service Club
