BIRTHDAY BOOKS - Celebrate Birthdays with Reading!

St. Patrick Catholic School is again this year offering Birthday Books for students wishing to celebrate their birthday in school.  In past years, the money donated for Birthday Books has purchased several hundred dollars worth of books for our school library.

If you are looking for a special way to recognize your child’s birthday, I hope you will consider a Birthday Book.  Just send in $10 to school in an envelope marked “Birthday Book” on your child’s birthday or shortly before.  I have a selection of new books set aside in the library, where your child selects a book.  A bookplate with your child’s name and birth date is placed in the front of the book.  The classroom teacher may read the book to the class (in the lower grades), and the student has two weeks to keep the book before it becomes part of the library collection.  This is a wonderful way to bring special recognition to your birthday child, as well as encouraging a love of reading.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Thank you for supporting our Birthday Books!
