Dear Parents/Guardians of

The Atholton Elementary School Book Club is a unique and meaningful way to recognize our students on special occasions and, at the same time, enhance the AES media center collection. Your donation will enable us to purchase a book with your child’s interests in mind, as well as fulfilling any gaps in the collection. Each donated book will have a bookplate that includes your child’s name, the occasion, and the donor’s name. The book will be presented during media class, as close to the occasion as possible. Your child will be the first to borrow the book from the Media Center. Book donations can be for birthdays, teacher recognition, holiday greetings, acknowledgements of achievements, or “just because.” Such a gift creates a lasting tribute and gives our students a great sense of pride as they, friends, and siblings open this book to find the inscription.

If you would like to make a contribution to honor your child, please complete the form below and return it to the Media Center with a check made out to AES PTA. A donation of $15.00 will allow the selection of quality books. Please assist us by printing information accurately and completely. You may also email the information to AtholtonBookClub@yahoo.com. Feel free to call or email either Teresa Rollin or Karen Hamming with any questions.

Sincerely,

Ms. Hamming, Library Media Specialist Teresa Rollin, AES PTA
