Livermore School Needs Your Help Providing Books to Low Income Kids

Jackson Avenue School, a Title 1 school in Livermore, needs your help to make sure every child gets a book during our book fair! Almost half of the school population is considered “low-income” and can not afford to buy a book during the book fair.

Will you please consider funding a book for a child or two or three or more? We estimate that we need to raise $2500 (about $10 a child) but we only have one week to do it as the book fair begins January 26th. No check is too small or too big. Your donation is also three fold!

First, you help a child get a book, second, Scholastic will donate a book for every dollar raised to nation-wide literacy programs and third, 40% of the sales price of the book is earned back to buy additional books for the school library. AND if your company matches the donation- well, it would be an amazing gift!

Please write your check to Jackson Ave PTO with a note that says “Fund a Book.” Send your check to Jackson Avenue School at 554 Jackson Ave, Livermore CA 94550, as soon as you can so we can meet our deadline. We are a 501c3 non-profit. For questions about this program, send an email to debvfields24@yahoo.com.
