Dear ASTORIA PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Families,
Exciting news! We have partnered with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students' home libraries. For over 30 years, Books Are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy.
Today our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we ask you to take 7 minutes to help build your child’s home library.

Registration steps:
ü Click the link above or scan the QR code on the Treasure Map.
ü Register & Invite 10+ friends/family members who would like to support your child’s love of books.
o The first 50 students to participate will receive their rewards tomorrow! Don’t worry, if your student is not one of the first 50, they will receive their 3 rewards at the end of the event.
ü To enter your child into the drawings for one of 4 Treasure Chests or for the iPad that will be given away during the first week of the event, invite 15+ friends/family members during registration.
~ Families with more than one student at our school should register each child on the site with their name, age, and teacher. You DO NOT need to create a list of contact names for each child. You only need to create ONE contact list with the 10 or more names of the friends, family or co-workers for your family. Each child will still get their own set of 3 prizes, their name entered into the drawings , and their own set of books.
Why I love this program:
· It’s guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student!
· 100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies. Books will be delivered to the school a few weeks after the event ends.
· The booklist is fantastic! It’s on the attached Treasure Map; check it out.
· Registering your child/children will take you about 7 minutes. There is NO financial requirement from you.
· All the information you provide is secure and only used for this program.
More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That’s the goal. We’re hoping for 100% participation.
Thank you for helping our students and our school!
