Dear Families,
We're excited to bring Book Blast to our school on September 14, 2026 at 2:40 PM CDT. Our school is partnering with Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program. This program helps every student build their own home library and get excited about reading by getting brand-new, age-appropriate books into every student's hands.
What makes it different:
Every student receives books they'll love and want to read
100% of all contributions go directly to books
The book list is expertly curated for each grade level
How it Works:
Your student will bring home a Treasure Map. This is their way to participate, earn books, and unlock fun prizes along the way.
This year's theme is fun at the carnival. Dressing up in red and white is encouraged. Take a sneak peek at what's to come: https://app.booksarefun.us/video/sneak-peek/
Keep an eye out for more details soon so your student can join the fun.
In the meantime, you can learn more here: https://www.bb.booksarefun.com/testimonials.
We're looking forward to a great kickoff!
