The week of February 24, the Boosters supported the All for Books Coin Challenge. Students brought in pennies on Monday, nickels on Tuesday, dimes on Wednesday, quarters on Thursday, and dollars on Friday. Teachers were then able to use the money collected from their classrooms to spend at the book fair for classroom books. This activity raised $2,229 dollars for teachers to buy books at the book fair to use in their classrooms. Way to go, little Eagles!
BERNIE'S BOOK BANK
Ahead of the Book Fair, Oakland Eagle Boosters collected books to donate to Bernie's Book Bank. We had a pretty big goal....1,500 books! But our parents and families came through like the amazing Eagles they are and we collected over 2,500 books!!!
