This money and note were brought to Sullivan Elementary to help sponsor a student for a book a month from Scholastic. It was given to us by an alumna's kindergarten son who heard about our Facebook post. He wanted to give one of our students an opportunity to get books, so he got $8 from his piggy bank and sent it to the school with his grandma.
We are still taking sponsorships ($8 per student) to get students 1 book a month for the year from Scholastic Books. Checks can be made out to Sullivan Elementary School and sent to SES, attention Daniel Allen, 910 N. Graham St., Sullivan, IL 61951.
