We got our final numbers with all of the fundraising we have been doing for the past couple of weeks! We raised $544.00 and got 58 books donated to us! With all of the money raised, we went to Barnes and Noble and purchased books. Today, Jess and I (Kaishla) took all of these books we got to Glenside, so that all of the kids can enjoy reading new books before summer comes around.

Today we had an awesome opportunity to go to the Reading Farmer’s Market and raise money to provide Glenside with some new books! it was truly amazing to see how many people donated money on such a gloomy day!

Hello Everyone,

We would like to announce that we will be helping Glenside Elementary School with their Science Book Drive!!!

We have come up with a couple of ideas of how to raise the books. They are the following:

1. Asking local businesses such as Wawa, Barnes and Noble, Pizza Hut, Lowes, Turkey Hill, and Home Depot.
2. Asking Penn State Berks students and putting boxes out at varies locations on campus.
3. We will be sending an email to the Ellen Degeneres Show and Amazon.
4. Possibly asking local radio stations to put it on the air that Penn State is helping a local school.
5. Standing in front of business trying to raise money/books dates TBD.

We are excited to see who is willing to support our cause!
