March+2013

__** Monday 3/4 **__ First Book is a annual fundraiser we run to support The North West Jersey Reading Council. We asks students to donate $1 and write their name on a shamrock. We hang them in the window and write their names on a book plate which will be affixed to a new book and given to a child in Sussex county who is less fortunate. The kids often ask what's in it for them, "What do I get?". The answer is, "A feel good feeling in your heart". (Any anything else you'd like to say in that regard) Please ask kids if they'd like to donate $1 when they check books in or out. The fundraiser will be going on all month. > > Please ask kids if they'd like to donate $1 when they check books in or out.
