Give a Book Back! Win a Prize!

Help me give my students prizes for returning those books! Every student who does so will be entered into a raffle for some of the things they love most!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gartland's classroom raised $979

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Every year dozens of books go "missing". They're not missing, they're just in the kids' book bags, or on their tables at home, or in their lockers! So how can I get the books back???

As an incentive for returning their books I am holding a raffle for everyone who brings a book back!

My To Do List:

1. Print out a master a list of every student who has an overdue book.

2. Invite each student to bring back their book for a raffle ticket.

3. Collect books from students and put their ticket in the box.

4. Receive prizes from amazing people at Donor's Choose.

5. Hold the raffle and witness the joy all around!

Prizes will be library activities that students love: Chess! Puzzles! Legos! Books! Yay!
