I was informed this morning that Sarah, Book Fairy child of FairyChatMom won the MORE program’s essay contest.
Each year the kids are encouraged to write an essay about what the MORE program means to them. One winner is selected from the entire school and it’s Sarah!
I am so excited and happy for her and proud of her. She will attend the MORE luncheon with me on April 28th and read her essay and receive an award. I’ll get to present the award to her.
Out of the 24 kids in my class this year 15 turned in an essay. This is a huge improvement from last year.
So far the kids have successfully completed 396 book reports. Our goal for the year was 400 and they kids thought we would never make it. Looks like they have surprised themselves!
THIS is what this program is all about. This is why I do this and this is why I talk about it nonstop.
THANK YOU SD Book Fairies and other members who have contributed to, asked about and spared a thought for this program and these kids.
I can only hope next year is as big of a success.
