NHCS is participating in a wonderful opportunity for students to earn books for our school library. The Pearson Foundation is currently sponsoring a reading initiative called “Read For My School” where participating schools are eligible to earn up to 500 free books for their libraries, just by reading. The program runs from February 14th through March 14th and is open to all students.
Registration is necessary in order to participate in the program. The online form can be found at http://www.wegivebooks.org/pf/rfms/register.php In order to register, students will need to create a username and a password, and provide an email address, his or her birthday, state, and our school name (there is a New Hampton Elementary School registered which is not our school - look for New Hampton Community School!) Please assist your child with this registration. Once the registration is completed, students can begin reading the online books. There are over 150 books to choose from at various reading levels. After the book is read, click “Give a Book” for it to be counted towards our school’s total.

In order for NHCS to be eligible for books, we must cumulatively read 50 or more books. We hope that you will consider registering your child for this program. Please feel free to call or email with any questions you may have. Have fun reading!
I just posted it on the NHCS PTO facebook page...
ReplyDeleteAnnie, I appreciate your doing that. Unfortunately, the campaign is not running as expected. The Read For My School campaign ended last night, with the Pearson Foundation having given out the maximum number of books they'd planned. I don't quite understand how it could only run 5 days instead of four weeks, as posted. Perhaps Pearson just didn't anticipate its appeal to schools. The good news tho, is students can still read books online. They just have to choose another campaign, that's all.
