BOOK PALS DRIVE
Time for some spring cleaning... of your book shelves, that is! From Monday, April 28th to Wednesday, May 7th, we are collecting new and gently used books for our annual Book Pals Drive.
Over the past several years, Broadmeadow families have donated thousands of books through the Book Pals Drive, and our partnership with Brownies for Books—a Needham High School organization that collects and distributes books to hospitals and shelters in the Greater Boston Area—ensures that your donations make a difference. Preschool through adult-level books are welcome!
For your convenience, there will be bins to drop-off books in two locations:
Outside the main school entrance, and
Outside the lower door used for car line dismissal.
PLUS, we will be having our annual Book Swap! If students donate at least one book to the drive, they can come to the Performance Center on Thursday, May 8th after school between 2:45pm to 3:45pm or during the art show from 6:00pm - 7:00pm to select a book of their own. The remaining donated books will be delivered to Brownies for Books.
To prepare for the Book Swap, we need help! If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up here.
Questions? Email Nina Drummond and Rebecca Shaw at bookpals@broadmeadowptc.org.
