Funded Oct 11, 2024The first semester of Book Club was a huge success thanks to your generosity. Our students were drawn to join lunchtime book club with the promise of snacks and stayed active members as they grew invested in our book.
The students were initially confused about why all of the snacks were blue. We built suspense by telling them the first few chapters of The Lightning Thief would reveal the reason. They had such excited reactions after reading the passage about why Percy loves blue food. Each week they were excited to see what the next blue item would be to power our reading.
Your donation allowed us to fuel their bodies as our reading fueled their minds. We are looking forward to voting on our next book for book club and hope to collect a new thematic snack to engage them in reading!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Klapak
