The Goodness of America
Books for All
Thanks to eight-year-old Addison “Addie” St. Andre and her lemonade stand, each of the 30 students in her third-grade class will receive one book per month for an entire year from the beloved Scholastic Book Club.
Addison is a student at Cluster Elementary School in Michigan. Her third-grade teacher, John Vergowven, recently posted on Facebook that his students can receive a book each month for $1 from the Scholastic Book Club program. Typically, Vergowven raises the funds for the books through his family and friends, but this year he asked for extra help from the students’ families.
When Addie and her mother saw Vergowven’s post, Addie’s mother, Courtney Frost, suggested that they donate to help the class reach the goal of $270, which would cover each student’s $1 per book per month for the length of the school year.
