Red Ribbon Week Service Project

October 22-26, 2012

   “We Are Bananas Over Books!”

We are asking students and families to donate new and gently used children’s books. These books will be given to local Pediatricians, Dentists and Orthodontists to give away after a child’s check-up visit, to promote literacy in our community.

The class donating the most books for the project will receive an extra recess with an ice cream.

Thank you,

Ansleigh Lazenby and the Red Ribbon Committee
