Classrooms Care Thank-You

Thanks to the help of classrooms across Canada, we have reached our goal of donating 100,000 books to children who need them most. It’s because of classrooms across Canada that we are able to have such a successful program year after year.

Here are some photos from our amazing literacy partners who help us distribute books and get them into the hands of kids across Canada:

ABOUT CLASSROOMS CARE
The Classrooms Care initiative is open to all classrooms Canada-wide through Scholastic’s Reading Club. Through the program, for each class that reads 100 books, Scholastic Canada’s Reading Club and Book Fairs divisions donates 100,000 new books to communities in need. In order to reach some of Canada’s most remote and deserving areas, the donated books are distributed in the name of both Scholastic Canada and participating classrooms through program partners. This year, Scholastic Canada will send books to children in need across Canada through their literacy partners Save the Children, Children’s Book Bank, United for Literacy, United Way Regina, CODAC NB, and Fondation pour l’alphabétisation.

Since its inception in 2005, the Classrooms Care program has provided more than 2 million books valued at $11.5 million in English and French to children across Canada. More than 80,000 classes have participated.
