Dear Spanishburg School Families,
We're excited to partner with Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program to grow our students' home libraries and encourage more reading over screen time! Tonight, we're asking you to take 7 minutes to support your Student Home Library initiative.
Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative.
Get started here: https://app.booksarefun.com/SpanishburgSch25922
How it works:
Click the link and register your student(s).
Invite at least 10 friends or family to support your student(s). (Info is secure and only used for this program.)

Win a trip to Disney!
Each supporter who clicks your student's link earns an entry for a chance to win a Disney trip. More clicks = more entries! For example, if five different people click the link, your family gets five entries into the drawing!
Pro Tip: After sending invitations, follow up with a phone call to make sure they received the message.
Why I love this program:
Every student gets new, age-appropriate books.
100% of contributions go to books and classroom supplies.
Takes less than 10 minutes and NO financial requirement from you.
Check out the attached book list—it's amazing!
More books at home = more reading! We're aiming for 100% participation
