The Cards for a Cause fundraiser brought in $3,600, making it possible to add these 185 NEW BOOKS to our OLS Library collection.
Thanks to everyone who sold boxes – our OLS School library heroes! We hope everyone who purchased boxes are enjoying their sparkly greeting cards too!
Serving students ages 4 - 13 requires a very diverse collection of library titles & updates each year. The $3,600 was mostly spent building up our Information section with topics we needed at age-appropriate levels. Some of the high-demand topics include computer coding, extreme weather, meteors, auroras, additional biographies and sports, bullying, immigration, refugees, community workers, and more. A few titles are bilingual picture books (more to come), and new chapter book series. For our 4th-8th graders, the most exciting additions by far are TWO copies of the newest Amulet title, Supernova. As soon as this photo was taken, they were checked out! | All of the NEW books on this cart are available for checkout NOW. Woo Hoo! ** Extra HUGE thanks go out to the following: 1.) Our dedicated PTO president-hero Curri DiChiara, for giving so much time and talent to make sure this was a successful fundraiser. 2.) Our top-selling class-heroes, KP! 3) Our top-selling student-hero, Elizabeth in 5B! |
