KIWANIS
HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOLASTIC BOOKS
Would
your club like to give books for ownership at a reasonable price? Below is a
new partnership program Kiwanis has with Scholastic Books. The only criteria is
that you buy these books for children to have at home. Scarborough Kiwanis
recently purchased160 books for $160 to be distributed to all first grade
students in Scarborough ME. The books were wonderful story books of high
quality. What a bargain!
GIVE THE GIFT OF READING!
Inspire the love of reading in
children of all ages! Access to books in the home, hearing books read aloud,
and a rich home literacy environment are all factors that lead to reading
success. Let us help your organization place the gift of reading into the hands
and homes of the children in your community!
