Good morning, Pirates! The Macks Creek School Library is participating in a classroom-level coin drive called the 'All for Books Coin Drive Challenge'. The challenge will run next Tuesday - Friday (April 11 - 14). Each day during the week will represent a different type of coin:
Tuesday - Pennies/Nickels
Wednesday - Dimes
Thursday - Quarters
Friday - Anything goes!
The classes are broken into two sections: PreK - 3rd classrooms will compete against each other while the 4th - 6th grades will face-off. The classroom that collects the highest overall total will receive a prize, and their teacher will receive a cash prize to be spent at the Book Fair the following week! (April 17 - 21)
What does your donation help with? Purchasing new books for the library and classroom libraries, easier access to books for students, and helping kids connect with more books!
Also, the BOGO (Buy one, get one) Book Fair will happen next week: April 17 - 21.
