BCS Annual Book Drive: Happening Now! *REMINDER*

Get ready to clear out your kids’ bookshelves, because we are hosting a book drive for the Children’s Book Bank at SMART Reading in order to provide book bundles to thousands of local preschool and Head Start students! From Monday, November 4 until Tuesday, November 26, boxes for book donations will be located in the front entrance lobby. Bring your new and gently used children's books for donation and give them a new life with another child or family. The Children’s Book Bank is currently accepting board books and picture books for young students (no more than a paragraph of text per page). Not accepted are chapter books, books for high-schoolers/adults, damaged/musty books, scribbled in books, coloring books, activity books, text books, encyclopedias, or ex-library books.

Bottle Drop: Holiday Give *REMINDER*

So very impressed with our community - we have recycled $2630.00 toward our Bottle Drop goal for the 2024/25 school year. BottleDrop Oregon is continuing their tradition of Holiday Give - this is an excellent way to squeeze out just a bit more $$$ out of those can and bottle returns. All Blue Bags dropped off between November 15th and December 2nd will earn BCS 20% more than usual…that could be a $2.00 bonus per bag! If you have a favorite local business (restaurant, bar, gym, orthodontist, dentist etc) that you can convince to fill even one bag just this one time, now would be an excellent time to turn on the charm. As incentive to get those bags in, I will bring your full blue bags in to the recycle bins myself - easy peasy! Please email me at bottledrop@beverlyclearyschool.org and we can schedule a pick up. Contact Christina Kirby via the email above with any questions - thank you again for your support!
