One for Books Program
At each book fair held in our schools, we collect donations for the One for Books Program where Scholastic matches what we collect and donates to a national charity.  We are fortunate then to take the amount collected to purchase books.  These books are then donated to Adopted Families at Christmas time and the remainder are donated to Heart to Heart.  This year we will be donating over $500.00 in books.  Thank you to all that support this program through the encouragement of your students to participate.  Nicole Mortenson's class alone collected $106.00 in coins to donate toward this program.  We will have a collection box at the upcoming Community Book Sale at the high school.
