FREE BOOKS FOR KIDS TOWN

Free Books for Kids Town is a wonderful organization that provides free books to kids. We have been working with this program for several years. The kids love the books they receive. The books are in the classrooms so the students always have access to the books. This program is made possible thanks to a leadership grant from the Limestone Township Board of Supervisors and additional support from the Tidioute Area Community Fund and the Rotary Club of Warren. This exciting new program will provide free books We would like to be able to give away more and are asking for your help. Elementary students were each given a cup to fill with change. We will collect the cups on March 18th. In order to encourage the kids to participate we are offering prizes to the class with the most money raised, highest percentage of participation, and a prize will be awarded to the class rooms that have the most nickels, dimes and quarters. Send in your spare change for a good cause.

Free Books for Kids Town celebrated its fourth anniversary in early December. Their program is based on research showing that book choice and ownership are two keys to helping children become better readers. Being able to read well ensures children’s continual success in school and life

FAMILY CONSUMER SCIENCE

The high school Family Consumer Science classes are currently sewing aprons. Unfortunately we do not have a sewing machine other than the teacher’s personal one. The students are currently learning how to hand sew different parts of their apron, however, if anyone has a sewing machine that still works and they do not use and would like to donate it that would be greatly appreciated.
