In celebration of the Texas PTA’s Centennial and in support of area ongoing Hurricane Ike recovery efforts, the CLHS PTSA will launch the Read to Recovery Adopt a Book Program which will run from December 1 through December 12. Read to Recovery is benefiting CLHS’ neighbor and feeder school, Falcon Pass Elementary and its library, one of many Clear Creek ISD facilities impacted by the recent storm. In honor of the Texas PTA’s Centennial theme, the CLHS PTSA is inviting all fellow book worms to adopt one of 100 book titles in an effort to help restock the Falcon Pass library book shelves – and Give the Gift of Literacy and Healing! Donors contributing the estimated full price ($20) of a selected title will have their name and a message featured on a nameplate placed on the inside cover of the donated book. Group and partial donations are also being accepted. To participate and for more information, contact Terri Dieste, CLHS PTSA Centennial Chairman, tldieste@aol.com. |
