Book Drive

Hey guys!!
As some of you already know, Amy Broadmoore (Ian's mom) is the founder of International Book Giving Day - February 14th. Amy is a lover of books. She is very involved in children's literature (she's the writer of a super cool blog called Delightful Children's Books), and she began International Book Giving Day as a day dedicated to getting new, used and borrowed books in the hands of as many children as possible. Over the past two years, Amy has collected over 1400 children's books for both Nettleton and Laura McArthur Elementary School students and their siblings. Here's a cute picture of her son, Ian full immersed in the books!:

 
 
 Last year on February 14th, author Chris Monroe (writer of Monkey with a Tool Belt and Sneaky Sheep, plus more...) read aloud to Laura MacArthur students and helped hand out books. Here's a look:

 
So as you can see, Amy is doing a lot of awesomeness for the children in the twin ports! She collects book donations from many sites, one of them being our preschool! In past years, Congdon Creek Preschool families have donated many books to this wonderful drive. This year, Amy is collecting books for Piedmont Elementary School students. We have a box set up for her in the sign-in area of preschool; you can donate your new or used books from January 7th through February 7th. We thank you so much for all your support and donations for this awesome cause!
 
Warmest regards,
 
Ms. Jakki
