We are having a coin challenge January 29-February 1st. Money collected will be used to add books to our classroom libraries. Each teacher will spend the amount collected by his/her students to select books for the classroom at the book fair beginning on February 4th. In addition to adding books to our class libraries, Scholastic matches the dollar amount we raise at Oakland. They will donate the matching funds in books to a school in need like those who suffered loss in the flooding in Louisiana or the storm damage in Texas.
