Good Hope Primary School

Let’s blow our Book Blast out of the water! We only have a few days left, so now is the time to act. If you would still like to contribute to the event, please do so through the invitation from your favorite student or make a school wide contribution: https://bookblast.booksarefun.com/GoodHopePS/pledge/?LgAdGRVZegEBHXxWWXtUQ0g- You have until Sunday night at midnight to contribute. Thank you to everyone in our community and beyond who has contributed to our Book Blast event! Your support has helped every student to go home with at least one new, exciting book to read, and some students will earn up to 10. With a focus on the promotion of literacy and reading, a new book is like gold to be treasured!

The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. The student with the highest dollar amount of contributions from each grade level will be awarded a $100 Book Blast shopping spree. On top of that, the student with the highest dollar amount of contributions in the school will be awarded an additional $100 shopping spree. So, one student winner will be going home with a total of $200 in Book Blast shopping sprees!

The high seas have never looked more beautiful...or been so smart! We're sailing through our adventure to earn as many books as possible for our students, and we're having fun along the way. Today, we announced the winner of the iPad! Congratulations, Alexander Ford!
