Holly Springs Elementary PTA

In addition to all the free educational merchandise we can earn, Labels for Education program is giving HSES an opportunity to win $2,500 worth of Scholastic books in their Bonanza Sweepstakes.

It is as easy as clicking on the attached link and filling out a form.  The sweepstake runs until December 31, 2011.

Everyone loves a good book.  Here is our way to help every child find a "new" book and help another student at HSES find a "new" book.  All for FREE.  Please join us for our first Cheetah Book Swap to be held on January 17, 2012 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. 

Here is how it works: 

• If you have books on your shelves which your child has finished reading, please have your child drop them off at school starting December 5th.  There will be drop boxes located throughout the school until January 16, 2012.
• At each drop box, there will be a sign up sheet.  Have your child fill out their name, teacher's name and the number of books dropped in the box.
• Only books will be accepted.  We are asking for books leveled Pre-K through Grade 5.  We will also accept cooking, craft, parenting and educational books for adults.
• On January 17, 2012 join us from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Multi Purpose Room so your child can select their "new" books.
• Our goal is to get a "new" book in the hands of all HSES students who join us on January 17.  To make this possible, we are asking our Cheetah families to donate as many books as they can.  For every book donated, a SWAP book can be selected up to a maximum of 3 books.  This will allow us to have extra books for those who were unable to donate.
• The morning after the Cheetah Book Swap, our teachers will be able to select any leftover books to add to their classroom libraries.

NOTE:  Track 1 Students can drop books off when they return to school in January; Track 4 Students can drop off books starting December 5 and come to the Cheetah Book Swap during their track out.

We hope you will join us and help make this new PTA program a "READING SUCCESS."
