Successes!

Thanks to everyone who has participated!

11 year old Cody was my shining star. This young man first participated in a reading fundraiser that I held with his 5th grade class. He took his challenge to be sponsored to read and ran with it. He collected the most in pledges for his class. The entire class participation was very high and they earned 30% cash or $1,200 plus in cash for their Boston trip this spring. Each child who brought in pledge money received 50% of their pledges in free books for their home and their teachers picked out 20% in books for the classrooms. I love my job! I get to give free books to kids and teachers who are in need of learning tools.

Well, after the fundraiser, Cody was so excited about earning free books that he called me and scheduled a Book Show with me. What an enthusiastic child. He took catalogs to all of his neighbors and friends and within a week, he needed lots more order forms. His mom should be very proud of her son. I know she is. He called everyone the day before to remind them to come see the great books and his turnout of 12 guests the night of his show was tremendous. His show was my best all year! I love it when kids love to read!

Successes!
