My Project

Remember elementary school opening flimsy Valentine cards with cute messages? Many of us do. What if that memory flipped to opening a package of cute rebus reader books that you treasure for years? Students in 5 classrooms will get a package of books, a heartwarming project we started last year!

Beginners don't see themselves as readers until they open a book that is theirs forever.

Our PreK and Kindergarten students are just beginning to explore books. This heartwarming project shows love- a gift of durable, exciting books! Kids will share this gift with their family too! The most special Valentine!
