Helena Madsen, a local high school junior, will sponsor the upcoming Scholastic Book Fair at Pine Hills Elementary School through her organization, The Giving Shelf. The book fair will run from September 28 through October 2, ensuring all 650 students at the Title I school can choose a free book.
This initiative marks the second time The Giving Shelf has fully funded a book fair for the entire school. In February, the organization provided free books to 650 students at Pine Hills Elementary.
Madsen founded The Giving Shelf to ensure every child can select and keep a book from a school book fair, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Beyond book fairs, The Giving Shelf has expanded its outreach at the school, distributing over 300 books during Literacy Night and more than 200 science books during Science Night.
The upcoming book fair will take place at Pine Hills Elementary School from September 28 to October 2.
