For the first time ever, OLS will participate in the “Birmingham Reads Book Drive Challenge!” That means we will be competing with other schools in our area to collect the most books in April.
HOW?
Please take time during Spring Break to look through your closets & bookshelves for gently-used K–5th Gr. children’s books (no board books please.) They will be distributed to at-risk children through literacy programs provided by Better Basics. More details to come after Spring Break but start your piles now.
BONUS!
The school that collects the most books will be awarded $1,000 & the school that collects the most books per pupil will win $500.
Thank you for supporting literacy in our community!
