As part of Scholastic’s “Classrooms Care!” project, Room 36 has kept a tally of the last 100 books we’ve read. When 100 books are read, 100 books are donated to a needy program or classroom. Now that we’ve reached our goal, we were able to choose where to donate 100 new books! Our hard work will now help SAY San Diego, Start Smart! SAY, or Social Advocates for Youth, will receive 100 new books! Great work, Room 36!
