Giving Thanks

Page Private School students delivered three books each to every second grader at Futuro College Prep.

"The book drive brought out leadership roles in me because I felt responsible to advertise about BookEnds in my school and persuade the students to donate as many books as possible. I felt like a leader during the process as I explained to our student body all about BookEnds including the reasons why I decided to help. The leadership skills I will take away from this experience are responsibility, passion and the ability to know the person you are benefiting or helping." Nishanth, Page Private School 8^th grade

Literary Recycling

Our current blog post is "Literary Recycling" by Matt Devine, BookEnds Program Manager. Read it, learn a new game, and let us know what you think.

----------------------------------------------------------------

BookEnds student volunteers organize book drives in their schools to recycle their quality children's books directly into the hands of kids in schools and youth organizations in desperate need of books. Through this process, BookEnds creates readers and leaders.
