Subject Line: Register for the Book Blast Tonight!
Dear Macomb Elementary School Families,
Exciting news! We are partnering with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students' home libraries. For over 30 years, Books Are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy.
Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative.

Why I love this program:
It's guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student!
100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies.
The book list is fantastic! It's attached, check it out.
It will take you less than 10 minutes and there is NO financial requirement from you.
More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That's the goal. We're hoping for 100% participation.

A big shout out and CONGRATULATIONS to Addi Beauchamp who made All Conference in basketball. The Little River Conference coaches vote on the players who make the team. Only 10 players are selected. Addi scored 519 points this season as a freshman. She averaged 20 points per game and had a season high of 38 points in one game with several games of 30 plus and 20 plus.
