Today, Student Financial Services launches the annual Children’s Holiday Book Drive for the classroom libraries and children of Florence Fuller Child Development Center.
Over the coming days, you will see the holiday poster gradually appear all over campus. We are seeking to reach out to as many students and staff as possible to help further this exciting initiative. We will be glad to accept new and gently used books for children, any age up to 12 years of age. There is no need to wrap the books, simply drop them off to Student Financial Services by December 12th and we will do the rest. We are planning to reach out to different departments and student organizations this year, and are hopeful of bettering last year’s total. However, we always need to encourage and promote as much as we possible.
This year we introduce two new exciting challenges:
- The Departmental Challenge
- The Student Organization Challenge
Each department and student organization on campus is challenged to donate 10 books to the book drive. Those departments or student organizations that donate the most will win the following prizes:
- Your very own Department / Student Organization photo with Santa Claus
- Holiday Book Drive Certificate
- An interactive financial literacy session for your whole department / student organization
Weekly Totals and Scores will be placed on the bulletin boards in the Student Center lobby.
I would be extremely grateful if you would share this email with those who you feel may be interested in taking part in our event. Word of mouth, and sharing with others is always a great way to get any initiative moving.
There are times when we take the ability to read for granted. This gift can truly make a genuine difference.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
Together we can truly make a difference this holiday season.
