Hi [NAME],
This holiday season, I’m raising funds with Scholastic’s ClassroomsCount™so that I can give all of my students a keep-forever book for the holidays.
Unfortunately, not all kids have equal access to books outside the classroom. Will you be a book fairy to my students and help me grow their home library?
The impact of these funds is truly immeasurable. When a child discovers a book they love, it can unlock a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.
I would be so grateful if you would consider supporting my students by making a contribution at the link below (or spreading the word by sharing the link): [CAMPAIGN LINK].
Thank you so much!

Hi [NAME],
Calling all book fairies! Will you help me spread holiday cheer this season by making a contribution to my Scholastic ClassroomsCount™ campaign?
I love seeing the joy on a child’s face when they open a book that’s theirs to keep, which is why I’m raising funds to send a “keep-forever” book home with each of my students.
The holidays are a time for giving, and there is no better gift than a book. Will you help me make the season magical for my students by contributing at the link below (or help spread the word by sharing the link)?
Thank you and happy holidays!
