2. Donating any dollar amount in their name. At the end of the week they will come and choose books for their classroom.This method of donation is done through Scholastic’s “All for Books” program and Scholastic will donate one book to an underprivileged kid for every dollar spent!!The teacher’s will be given the donation slips so they can thank your child for their new book.
