Thank you Scripps Howard Foundation, WRTV & Scholastic!
In April, the Scripps Howard Fund celebrated the giveaway of the One Millionth Book through their “If You Give a Child a Book…” campaign. Dav Pilkey, renowned author and illustrator of the kid-favorite Dog Man, Captain Underpants, and Cat Kid Comic Club series, provided a very special surprise gift for the 2nd-4th grade students at our school. Each student in these grades, plus their classroom teachers and our librarian, received their very own copy of his next highly awaited book, Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea.
Thank you to Scripps Howard Foundation, WRTV, and Scholastic books for donating a free book to every 2nd-4th grader at South. We appreciate your partnership and generosity!
