Our school is currently running the "Read-A-Thon" fundraiser.The NJHS president and I had the opportunity to speak to three second-graders who were from Casis Elementary School and part of a boy-scout troop in Austin, Texas. They had an amazing idea to do something similar to the Read-A-Thon. They would place boxes around our school, mostly the library, and students at O. Henry, who have grown out of their books, can donate them to this boy-scout troop. This would last for the first two weeks of February. The boy-scout's parents would collect the books, put them into their SUVs (for once I like SUVs) and drive them over to BookSpring. This will be continued into next week, and our principal, the NJHS president, and I will work on putting up posters and emails to parents about this. We will also find a suitable reward for the grade that donates the most books. Again, this will be an ongoing story in Executive Time.
