A letter from a student to his teacher | |
|
Dear Mrs. Hamaker,
I can honestly say that when I signed up for BookEnds I was thinking "Yes- 6 hours of community service." That definitely changed. From making signs all the way to actually going to the school was a "ride".
When we got to Ramona Elementary and I saw the kids' faces it was priceless. I really don't think I will ever see someone as happy and joyful as they were.
What I thought was really cool is the kid I was reading to didn't want to put the book back. I would actually like to do it in 7th grade too!
From,
Jake, 6th grade student leader. |

What is BookEnds? | |
|
BookEnds is a non profit organization about Kids helping Kids for Literacy and Leadership. BookEnds is built upon our belief in children. We believe that every child has a right to be surrounded by books throughout their childhood to inspire, enthrall and excite them. We also believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn to help.
Annually, nearly 20,000 students organize BookEnds book drives in their schools to recycle their quality children's books directly into the hands of kids in schools and youth organizations that are in desperate need of books. At BookEnds, we build the next generation of readers and leaders. Contact us!
