A Mummified Mrs. Arnold

Student Council Members with Books for Donation

Our annual book fair occurred during the first week of December, but we are just now wrapping up all the loose ends and calling it a day.

This year we participated in Scholastic Book Fair's All for Books program.  The boys collected spare change, and then used those donated funds to buy books for the Maryland Book Bank.  All total we collected $255.88.  The student council members selected the books to purchase.

Additionally Scholastic will match our monetary donation with a donation in books from The Scholastic Possible Fund, which distributes books to children through organizations such as the Kids In Need Foundation, Reader to Reader, Inc., and the National Center for Families Learning.

As an additional incentive, the class that brought in the most spare change won the opportunity to "Mummify Mrs. Arnold," our lower school head.  The winning homeroom was a fifth grade class with $62.27 in donations.  This morning at our school wide assembly the boys were able to collect on their incentive.  I owe a huge thank you to our principal who was willing to go along with our incentive and was a very good sport about this.  Enjoy the video below!
