It's Read to Feed time in the library! WE LAUNCHED OUR 8TH ANNUAL READ TO FEED CAMPAIGN IN APRIL, and it continues through May. Read to Feed is a service learning read-a-thon to raise money through Heifer International to feed hungry children of the world. Last year, 90 students raised $11, 277 for this great cause! Heifer's mission is to end hunger and poverty by providing struggling families with livestock and education. Farm animals are the gift that keep on giving!So far, 60 students have signed up and are on West Bath School's Read to Feed team! Lots of books are being read and sponsors are being recruited to support us in this important work.
A generous donor contacted Heifer International and has pledged to MATCH every dollar we raise up to $50,000...this is an exciting challenge...one we have taken on!
To date, we have raised $3,485...who knows what the future holds, but we have one more month the read and raise!
One student said, "Mrs. D, let's make history!" I think that's a great slogan for our campaign. Making history would be fun, but it's all about MAKING A DIFFERENCE, so whatever we earn, it will be life changing!

Thanks and Happy Reading,
Mrs. D in the Library
