Hope for Japan: Used Book Fundraiser

From despair comes hope
Out of the darkness comes light
From ashes they'll rise.
(a haiku poem)

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
(Anonymous)

Be the angel who brings them hope and light.
Be the angel who helps them rebuild and rise.
Donate a used book for a fundraiser to help the earthquake victims of Japan.

• We are looking for gently used books for all ages.
• Please bring your donations to the parent Center in the morning, all week this week through next Tuesday the 29th.
• A fundraiser selling dinner and reselling the donated books will be held on Thursday, March 31st before Literacy Night.
• If you would like to help with the fundraiser by organizing books or by volunteering to sell food or books, please contact Anvi Kevany at volunteers@mwpta.org, or sign up by the Parent Center, or at mwpta.org.

This is a great opportunity to help your child make a difference for the victims of this tragic event and be part of the recovery effort for the Japanese people. Go through your home library with them and pick out some of the books your family no longer enjoys, but someone else might. The world is not as large as it seems, we are all connected.

Thank you for your support!
