Bazillion Books
Next week, during Read Across America Week, February 25th-
March 1st, we will be having a book give away sponsored by Bazillion
Books for Kids, during each classes library time. These are gently
used books that have been donated by the Salem-Keizer Education
Foundation. Bazillion Books for Kids is a community-wide effort
to end book poverty and foster a life-long love of reading in Salem
and Keizer by putting free books into the hands of every
child. Funded by a volunteer-run bookstore, private donors and
community partners, the program's goal is to give away more than
500,000 free books every year. We encourage you to take a few
minutes to talk to your students about their books and the importance
of reading each day as we encourage using the RAH sheets
each month.
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The
more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
