‘Book Blast’ Earns Students at BARRETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL New Books

Barrett Elementary School is about to embark on a school-wide book drive unlike any other!  Starting on 1/23/2024, the school will launch their Books Are Fun Book Blast.  This literacy initiative helps our students build their home libraries while also helping the school to get more books and school supplies.  No matter what, this program ensures all the students at the school will take home at least one new, fun, age-appropriate book for their home libraries.  However, with the help of the community, friends, and family, students can earn up to 10 books!  

How does this all work?  Students send out invitations to friends and family members to help them reach their goal of taking home all 10 books on their grade-level list.  So, if you receive an invitation from a student you know, please click on the link in the invitation and help that child by contributing on their personal contribution page.  100% of the contributions they receive first go towards the books on their book list and then help other students needing books too.  Any remaining contributions after every student earns all 10 books will go toward more books for the school and classroom supplies.  Let’s help BARRETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL achieve their goal of every student taking home all 10 books!

If you don’t know a student at the school or receive an invitation to contribute, but you’d still like to help all students at Barrett Elementary School take home more books, you can contribute at:  Website

We are launching a Book Blast literacy initiative on 1/23/2024, and the goal of the event is to get as many new, age-appropriate books as possible into the hands of our students.    

Our children deserve the opportunity to have more books at home to develop strong literacy skills such as vocabulary, spelling, and reading comprehension, which can lead to more effective communication skills as they become adults. As someone who manages a business and works with people daily, I’m sure you understand just how important these skills are in the development of our students.   

The Book Blast provides an opportunity for you and others in our community to help build up the home library of each student at our school and to help our school receive new books and educational resources. Every dollar you contribute will go toward books and educational supplies for our students and staff!   

Know that whether you contribute $10 or $100, you are making an impact in the lives of our students. Here’s how you can contribute to our Book Blast:
