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
