New Ideas and Opportunities

SO, when the middle school said that they'd just had a book drive, and the elementary school never responded to my emails, I decided to think up new ideas. To start, we launched a book drive just through family and friends, which in itself generated a whole box of books. Then, my mom's office generated an entire second box filled with books, and I couldn't thank them enough!

As a senior in high school I decided that I had two options. I could reach out to my school and offer a book drive there, or I could go to other locations in the community pleading to leave a book box on their doorsteps for a week.
HOWEVER, I was having trouble sleeping last week, and I couldn't stop thinking about the book drive situation...and then my brain hatched an idea.

In my Creative Writing Class, our final project is to write and illustrate a children's book. If people were to donate their books to my project, what a wonderful way to share your story, and know that you're helping the community.........
So I emailed my teacher, who loved the idea, and today I printed up 60 flyers for the two creative writing classes. I'm not quite sure how successful it will be, but it's a cute idea and WORTH A SHOT! It's a good way to personalize the book shelf, and to bring the community closer together.
