We currently have FOURTEEN boxes of books to send to Santa Teresita, with more scheduled for drop-off tomorrow morning. That's enough books for the students at Santa Teresita to each take home more than one book, or for their new library to add some great titles to their collection. About half of the books are mint-condition hardcovers that will be great in the school library. ALL of the books donated are fantastic choices for the K-8 students at Santa Teresita. It's been fun to go through them and see what all of you used to read (or perhaps what your younger siblings have been reading recently). Nina Sarian donated some really excellent titles for the middle schoolers, and they were in such pristine condition that I had to ask if she'd even read them! She had, of course, and clearly takes great care of her books. Haley Shewfelt's family donated a huge box of books that was so heavy I had to ask Mr. Pariante to carry it across the Library for me. Someone left three bags of amazing series books perfect for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. The recycled bags were marked Water Polo, but that's all the info I have. Anyone know who the mystery reader is? We even received donations from an 8th-grader who knew about the book drive because she attends sports camp on our campus. The kids will be getting some classic kid favorites, like Curious George, Arthur, Magic Tree House, Captain Underpants, Animorphs, Spiderwick Chronicles, Hardy Boys, American Girl, Guinness Books of World Records, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and so many more. On behalf of the Book Club, thank you all for your generosity. Books are my favorite gifts to give!!! I can't wait to present the books to the teachers and principal of Santa Teresita.
