We have had around 150 books donated for our Books-giving & Blessings! Some of the books contain sweet messages from the families that brought them in, but for some of the books purchased through our Amazon Wish List, we asked Mrs. Brown’s 4th Graders to write encouraging notes inside.
The children of Western North Carolina are going to love these gifts!
We need 500 books, so keep the donations coming!

Please consider donating to our Books-giving. We are collecting books for the children in WNC who were devastated by Hurricane Helene. Many lost everything. There are a few ways to donate. CES has a book fair opening TOMORROW. They will be collecting books there. You can also access an Amazon wishlist through the QR Code, or simply just bring in a NEW book to school. Thank you!
