📚 Calling all Monarch families! Our third graders need your help to grow a love of reading! 🦋

Have a bookshelf you no longer use? Third grade is looking for THREE donated bookshelves that students can paint, decorate, and “plant” in local businesses! The photo shows an example of the type of shelf they’re looking for.

As part of their Expedition, students are exploring the challenges children around the world face in accessing books and discovering ways to make a difference right here in our community.

After touring Baymeadow Park and its businesses, our third graders are partnering with three local businesses to create small libraries following the “take a book, leave a book” concept. These libraries will help bring books to the children of employees and families who visit. 💙

Have a bookshelf to donate? Send us a message! Please share this post to help us find all three.

Thank you for helping our third graders turn learning into action, one bookshelf and one book at a time! 📖✨
