Congratulations to our final Treasure Chest winner - Owen Matuszyk. The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your 3 prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree.
Power up! Our 3rd Book Blast Treasure Chest winner is Teegan Yepsen! Congratulations!
Did you know that Book Blast contributions help ensure all our students receive books? After your student earns all 10 books from the book list, additional contributions help provide more books for all our students, classrooms, and the library. Your involvement makes a world of difference!

‘Book Blast’ Earns Students at Bureau Valley Wyanet Elementary School New Books
Bureau Valley Wyanet Elementary School is about to embark on a school-wide book drive unlike any other! Starting on 4/11/2024, the school will launch their Books Are Fun Book Blast. This literacy initiative helps our students build their home libraries while also helping the school to get more books and school supplies. No matter what, this program ensures all the students at the school will take home at least one new, fun, age-appropriate book for their home libraries. However, with the help of the community, friends, and family, students can earn up to 10 books!
How does this all work? Students send out invitations to friends and family members to help them reach their goal of taking home all 10 books on their grade-level list. So, if you receive an invitation from a student you know, please click on the link in the invitation and help that child by contributing on their personal contribution page. 100% of the contributions they receive first go towards the books on their book list and then help other students needing books too. Any remaining contributions after every student earns all 10 books will go toward more books for the school and classroom supplies. Let’s help Bureau Valley Wyanet Elementary School reach their goal of every student taking home all 10 books!
If you don’t know a student at the school or receive an invitation to contribute, but you’d still like to help all students at Bureau Valley Wyanet Elementary School take home more books, you can contribute at: https://tinyurl.com/BUREAUVALLEYCommLink
