Books to Costa Rica!

In just one day, our class collected over 100 books to donate to a school in rural Costa Rica! We brought in the books Thursday morning and by Friday morning, they were already at the school in Costa Rica. We've received two emails so far about the donation. The first is from the woman who brought the books to Costa Rica.

Dear Class 4-324, Thank you so much for sharing your love of reading and books with boys and girls in Costa Rica.  Thank you for gathering such a wonderful collection of books on a such a short notice.  Katie often tells me what an amazing bunch of kids you are!  I am so excited to be a "book transporter" between you and the children at a small rural school in Costa Rica.  Sincerely, Yana

Then, we received an email from the director of the Nature Kids School in Drake Bay, Costa Rica, where Yana donated the books. How exciting!

Hello Katie,

My name is Pamela and I am in charge of the Nature Kids School in Drake Bay.  I just wanted to let  you know so you can tell your students that we just got the  books from Yana.  She will visit us again next Friday and hopefully take some photos of the school and children. 

All of the books will be very useful for our students who are both children and adults. 

Thank you all so very much and the children will be sending notes and pictures very soon.  We do not have regular mail service, but we do have access to the internet at the school and hopefully we can stay in touch.

Sincerely,

Pamela
