CELEBRATE SOMEONE WITH A BOOK!
Support reading through the In Honor of You program
about
The school's annual In Honor of You program allows you to honor a special person or event – a child’s birthday, a great report card, a graduating 5th grader, a favorite teacher, etc. – and add books to the library at the same time!
Your donation helps our students develop a love of reading. Other students and teachers will continue to benefit from the In Honor of You books that are added to the library collection, and as the years go on, the book will be a lasting remembrance of your student!
when
February 1, 2025 - March 1, 2025
how
110% of the money donated will go to purchasing books for our school library. That’s right – 110%! Follett matches 10% of the donation total.
Ready to Support Sternberger Readers?
step 1
Donate:
To donate, go to Follett’s secure site at: www.titlewish.com between February 1st and March 1st. Use the FIND YOUR SCHOOL bar to access our school’s Titlewish site.
We suggest a minimum donation of $15 to $20, which is the average cost of a hardcover book. Follett accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
step 2
Dedicate to honor someone special:
Complete the online dedication form. Include your name and email (in case of questions and to share updates), along with:
The name of the person you are honoring (your student, favorite teacher, etc.)
Who the In Honor of You donation is from (parents, caregivers, grandparents, etc.)
The In Honor of You occasion (birthday, report card, "thank you," etc.)
step 3
New Books!
The new library books usually arrive at end of March or early April. Students get to decide which one will be the In Honor of You book dedicated to the library in their honor. A special label will be affixed inside the front cover, and the student will be the FIRST person to check out their donated book!
The In Honor of You program is one of the few ways the media center is able to get new books every year. This program is coordinated and executed entirely by the school media center staff. The Sternberger PTA's role is to assist in sharing information about this important program and to help provide volunteers as needed.
