BOOKS FROM BIRTH
Once again, our district has been asked to support our local Imagination Library, Rutherford Books from Birth. Their goal is to raise a dollar for every child in the school system. For us, that is approximately $50,000. The monies that we put into this fundraiser directly impact the students of our school district in a positive way. March, which is National Reading Month is a perfect time to kick off this fundraiser!
