Help Fund Goochland School Projects
Mrs Tiffany Ray, our Media Specialist / Librarian at GES has entered a project that we should do our best to support. The title of her project submission and direct link to it is:
We Are Choice READERS!
Her project is requesting approximately $800 to purchase books for the entire school to participate in the Virginia Readers' Choice program sponsored by the Virginia State Reading Association. Info on that program can be found here. http://www.vsra.org/overview.html
Donorschoose runs free promotionals form time to time with various companies, such as a Border book store one in December and a BING search engine online for $5. They are both over now but we will keep an eye out for any future opportunities.
We THANK YOU for your support as always.
