| | Schools across the country helped the victims of Hurricane Katrina by conducting reading-based fundraisers, or participating in our One For Books program. Scholastic Book Fairs matched their efforts with a donation of nearly 300,000 books to Kids In Distressed Situations. K.I.D.S. distributed the books to schools, children, and organizations in areas affected by the hurricane.
Many schools held read-a-thons, while others conducted book drives, and collected spare change to help Gulf State area-schools.
