Barefoot Books are Eco-friendly

In case you haven't yet read this upon the Barefoot Books site:

All of the paper that we use in our books is ancient forest friendly. As the name suggests, this means that we only use paper provided by responsible suppliers running well managed forests who do not destroy ancient trees in the process of making paper.

Further, the felled timber is not replaced with an inappropriate fast-growing species (such as pine, which is unsuitable for high quality paper production on reaching maturity) but with a similar species which is given time to mature before being felled for further paper production.

All of the ink that we use is vegetable or soy based (as opposed to oil based) and our laminates and adhesives are water based (as opposed to solvent based).

Isn't that good to know?

Literacy Pledge Drives

This is how my Literacy Pledge Drive Program works:

• Parents pledge to read with their child for 15 minutes each night for 5 nights.

 • Parents collect pledges in support of their reading initiatives. They ask for a suggested donation of $1-$2 per night of reading ($5-$10 pledge). Each family’s goal is to raise at least $25. Prizes are given to families at the $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500 pledge level. 

 • After all pledges are collected and the parent has read with the child for 5 days, the family can choose books from Barefoot Books for up to 50% of the total amount of their pledges. 

 • Parents turn in their pledge forms, money collected, along with a filled out order form for Barefoot Books. 

 • The school collects all the pledge money and places a school book order for the other 50% raised.  

 • All monies raised, sponsor pledge forms and order forms (from the school and parents) are then turned into myself. 

 • Once the books arrive and prizes arrive, they are dispersed to parents and the school library. As your Barefoot Ambassador, I handle everything for you.   For every dollar raised: Earns Parents .50 worth in Barefoot Books Earns the School .50 in Barefoot Books
