Book Blast Day 2 Update, October 26, 2021:

Dear Putnam County R-I Elementary Families!

WOW!

In the past 24 hours, many of our families answered our call, sending thousands of emails and text messages to friends and family around the world! We’re so excited to see that expanding home libraries and supporting our teachers is as important to you as it is to us. We know we’ll be creating lifelong readers with this program.

The response was so amazing, we have decided to extend the deadline another 24 hours! That’s right: If you didn’t have a chance to register and send requests to family and friends, you still have time. Click the link below:

Complete their ‘Treasure Map’ tonight and your child/children can get their Treasure Map prizes as well as entry into all the drawings. There’s still time to help! Register and enter donation requests tonight to get in on the fun.

It’s never too late to make a difference! Thank you!

Dear Putnam County R-I Elementary Families,

Exciting news! We are partnering with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students ‘home library’.  For over 30 years Books Are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy.

Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program, literacy, and the importance of having their own books at home.  Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Help Build My Home Library initiative for the kiddos.

CLICK HERE TO START HELPING OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS:

Here are the steps:

• Click the link above.
• Create your child’s personal page.
• Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students (Don’t worry, all the information you provide is secure and only used for this program.)
• Sign the ‘Treasure Map’ and have your child turn it in tomorrow to earn their Treasure Map Prizes.

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 15 minutes and there is NO financial requirement for you.

More books in your homes equal more pages being read!  That’s the goal.  We’re hoping for 100% participation.

Thank you for helping our school and community.
