We want to thank YOU for making the Book Fair such a huge success!
When the decorations first went up, I overheard a child asking another student why the school was hanging "POW!" and "KABOOM!" signs from the ceiling. The 1st grader answered very excitedly, “It’s for the Book Fair! Reading makes you a hero."
I don't think I could have said it any better. I want to thank you for everything you do to support reading at St. Francis. You read to them, load them up with good books, and help them become the life-long readers we all want them to be. You also support our faculty’s efforts with donations to the classroom and the library.
With your support, we raised approximately $3,500!
We could not have done this without our volunteers. I want to thank the following volunteers who donated their time, including many of our kids, who kept coming to us asking how they could help.
