The Parent Organization’s Birthday Book program combines literacy and philanthropy to help build Archway’s Library! On their birthday, each child and their family will be offered the opportunity to give a book- in the subject of their choice- to the school library.  Inside their Birthday Book, Archway will fasten a bookplate with a personalized inscription, for example:

Donated to Archway Classical Academy by John Smith for his birthday on August 30, 2010.

It’s a great way for kids to feel a sense of contribution to the school, and to share their love of books that they have found inspiring, informative, and entertaining!

Some wonderful places for you and your children to start thinking about what books you’d like to share are:

Kids reads

The American Library Association

Caldecott Medal Winners 

Newberry Medal winners

Be on the lookout for a Birthday Books invitation in the weeks prior to your child’s birthday!
