WES Families: I'm thrilled to announce our upcoming Book Blast book drive for grades PK-6, where your child is at the heart of the mission – to get more books for your child's home library! Tonight, register your student and invite 10 or more friends and family to join us: http://bookblast.booksarefun.com/WethersfieldES61443
All students who register and send 10 or more invitations will earn all 3 prizes. The first 80 will receive prizes the next day, while the others will get theirs with the book delivery. 100% of these contributions will directly fund books for our students, enriching their lifelong love of reading. You can find more details in the attached Treasure Map. All information you provide is kept 100% secure, and we never share it. Thanks for your support!
