Why should you make a gift now?
Right now, there is a student in a classroom who is struggling to learn.
They are reluctant to read. And it’s not because they aren’t trying, but they just
haven’t found the spark that gets them inspired to read.
YOU can spark their interest in reading!
Your bi-weekly payroll deduction of just $5, $10, $15 or even $25 will provide
high-interest books to a reluctant reader.
You’ll fund classroom grants to provide books tailored to a student’s interests like
cookbooks, books in other languages, graphic novels, do-it-yourself books, and so
much more.
Will you please make your special gift today to provide high-interest books and
inspire a student to read?
When you make your new or increased payroll gift before November 20, it will
DOUBLE, thanks to a special matching fund!
To show you what your gift can do, let me tell you about a student I’ll call Kenzie.
Kenzie is a fifth grader who never felt particularly excited about school. Reading felt
like a chore. And it was hard for her to connect what happened in class to the
things she cared about.
But thanks to a classroom grant that generous staff and teachers like you made
possible, Kenzie received a new cookbook.
All of a sudden, reading had a purpose for Kenzie.
She was so excited to share new recipes with friends, follow directions, and
discover what she could create. For Kenzie, her cookbook sparked inspiration and
curiosity!
Your gift today can spark a desire to read for a student just like Kenzie.
Just $3.33 will provide high-interest books to a reluctant reader. Imagine how
many students you can inspire with your recurring payroll gift of $5, $10, $15, or
$25!
Please make your new or increased gift before November 20 so it can double, up to
$5,000, before the matching funds expire. So, give now to DOUBLE your impact.
Complete your gift today using the form linked here and inspire a student to read!
Please don’t wait! Your gift today could be just the spark a student needs to read
and flourish.
