Just ask any Cumru Kid, Birthday Books are an extra-special big deal at our school!
Families may choose to honor their child's birthday with a $15 donation to our Cumru Library. A new, library-bound book is specially selected with the child's interests in mind. Inside the book is a bookplate including the birthday boy or girl's name and birth date. Then, on or near the Big Day, the fun happens when Mrs. Swanson visits the classroom to present the Birthday Book in a very memorable way! (This year, books will be presented from a distance, but still in a wonderfully celebratory way!) June-September birthday books are presented on the students' half-birthdays.
Please remember, students do not keep the birthday books; they must be returned to our library since they are part of our library collection. But the excitement continues for years to come! Students enjoy looking for their birthday books and checking them out again and again! Look for information to be sent home in the beginning of the school year, or email Mrs. Swanson here.
