Books for Birthdays: Our PTA and the Crescent Heights Library have teamed up to organize a program called Books For Birthdays. Your child has the opportunity to donate a book to our library in honor of their special day. A stamp with the donor’s name will go inside the front cover of the book for all future readers to see. A PTA member will also come to your child's classroom to showcase your donated book, read to the class and take your student's photo for our hallway bulletin board outside of the library. Your child will receive a special bookmark as a thank you for their donation. Visit www.chepta.org/books_for_birthdays for more information!
