Book-A-Palooza books come from Scholastic
Farrell Elementary teachers Amanda Davidson and Melissa Garcia鈥檚 classes were upset they left听school early Monday afternoon.听
But that was only until they found out where they were going.听
鈥淭hey got super excited,鈥 Davidson said as she told them they were headed to pick out books at the seventh annual Book-A-Palooza. 听
With the help of 色窝窝无码一区二区三区鈥檚 state and federal interventions and operations department (SFIO) and Clifford the Big Red Dog, representatives from all Title I elementary and junior high campuses in the district visited the warehouse for a special shopping trip. 听
Their mission? To carefully select books to take back to their听students and promote a love of reading.听
鈥淚t鈥檚 all about self-selection,鈥 said SFIO director Julie McGuire. 鈥淚f we want kids to be true readers, we want them to enjoy it by finding the stories that they like.鈥听
Morton Elementary librarian Jason Rizy felt the same way.听
鈥淥ne of my biggest goals every year is to teach the kids to read for fun and do it because they want to,鈥 he said. 鈥淏ook-A-Palooza connects to that because we get to choose books that we know the kids will be interested in.鈥 听
Once the books are collected and transported back to the campus,听each school hosts their very own book fair, allowing kinder through eighth grade students to choose two free books before heading home for the summer. 听
鈥淎t our campus, this is one of the only ways our kids are able to get books in their hands,鈥 Garcia said. 鈥淭hey love it, and they are so appreciative every single year.听It鈥檚 so awesome that we鈥檙e able to do this.鈥 听
Thanks to an incredible community partnership, 色窝窝无码一区二区三区鈥檚 kiddos will be听ready to take on their summer reading. And love it, too! 听
