Our Book Blast is coming to an end here at the school, but the website stays open until Sunday night to accept contributions from the friends and family you’ve invited to help. So far, we've raised over $6,000!! We’ve had fun giving away Treasure Chests and even an iPad over the past two weeks. Also remember, if your child hasn’t received the 3 Treasure Map rewards yet, we will be handing those out next week to any students that qualified. You’ve done such a great job helping our school with our Book Blast. The next exciting part of our Book Blast voyage will be to see just how many books will be heading our way in the coming weeks!
As a reminder, Crab Orchard CUSD3 implemented a safety procedure for all visitors and guests entering the building, including before/after school. Parents, guests, and visitors will be asked to sign-in at the high school office at which time they will be issued a visitors pass. Unknown and/or new visitors will be required to show a driver’s license, or government issued ID card in order to enter the building. Parent/Visitors will also be asked to verify a previously scheduled appointment. The security measures that we have in place are to protect the safety of our students, staff and school building. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sy Stone - Superintendent
The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. The first 50 students have received their 3 rewards, but it’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your 3 rewards, and help your classroom earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! If you complete your Treasure Map by inviting 10+ friends and family members, you will receive your 3 prizes at the end of the Book Blast. When 60% of the classroom’s students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that classroom will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite at least 10+ friends and family members, the classroom will earn a $200 shopping spree. Remember, students are not selling any products, and friends and family are not obligated to donate. We are simply trying to get as many high quality, grade specific books for our students as possible. Thank you for all of your help!
