This week, a sense of excitement filled the air as every student in our school received a special gift—free books from Bernie’s Book Bank! This incredible nonprofit organization is on a mission to increase book ownership and foster a love for reading among children. Their generous donation has brought joy and opportunity to our students, creating a moment we’ll all remember. Bernie’s Book Bank made sure every student in our school, from the youngest kindergartners to the oldest fifth graders, received their own set of books to take home. These books were carefully selected to be age-appropriate, engaging, and culturally relevant, ensuring every child could find stories they’d love.
