Book Blast Day 5!
Congratulations, Anthony!
At Barbour County Elementary School, we are excited to launch our Book Blast on Monday, February 9. This literacy initiative is designed to help build our students’ home libraries, strengthen reading skills, and support long-term academic success both inside and outside the classroom.
We are reaching out to invite local businesses, churches, and government officials to partner with us by sponsoring our students. Every dollar donated goes directly toward purchasing books and educational resources for our students and teachers. Your support helps place high-interest, age-appropriate books directly into the hands of children in our community.
To contribute, please visit the following secure donation link by Friday, February 20: https://app.booksarefun.com/BarbourCoES36016/donations/new/k4o9enhl.
We have also included a flyer that you may display at your place of business or worship to show your support for local education and encourage others to participate in this effort.
Thank you for investing in the future of Barbour County students. Your generosity and partnership make a meaningful difference in helping our children grow as confident readers and lifelong learners.
Book Blast Day 3!
Drawing Prize Winner will be announced on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
The first classroom to reach 100% participation will receive a Doughnut Party! Go, Jaguars.
