Attention Book Blaster families! We have only a few days left! Now is the time to contribute through the invitation from your favorite student or to make a school-wide contribution: https://bookblast.booksarefun.com/MTPulaskiGS62548/pledge/?LgAdGRVZegEBHX9SVn5ZSUY- ). You have until Sunday night to contribute Thank you to everyone in our community and beyond that have contributed to our Book Blast event! Your support will help students take home as many books as possible, up to 10 each. In our quest to promote literacy and reading, every new book is like gold to be treasured!

Congratulations to our final Treasure Chest winner - Simon. The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your 3 prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree. Visit http://bookblast.booksarefun.com/MTPulaskiGS62548 to participate!

Here are our 3 treasure chest winners!!! Congratulations!!! There will be one more winner tomorrow!

Thank you so much for the Dietz Foundation for donating these books to our schools. One of the goals of the foundation is to teach the general public through games. These books are set up as game and have fun activities in the books to help children learn.

My name is Emma Zibutis and I am the Membership Coordinator for Girl Scouts in Logan County. Did you know that Girl Scouting supports girls’ mental health, combats learning loss, and uses badges which directly align with state and national curriculum standards? I am wondering if you would be able to post this flyer in your online newsletter / website your school uses for Middle School girls who might be interested! If you do accept physical flyers, I would love to bring those by as well. I have attached the flyer with this email, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to get back to me and I look forward to continuing to build girls of confidence and courage!
