Fund a Seat on the Tree House Limo! Help Needed ASAP!

Hello, friends!

We are writing to you because we need your help right away.

This semester, the kids in our Tutoring Time program have been playing a literacy game:  Complete 10 reading log entries, and you earn a ticket for a limo ride!  After meeting reading goals, students have had the opportunity to creatively respond by doing an entry in their reading log.

Yedidiah read Shel Silverstein’s poem “The Fly Is In” and wrote a poem in response:

The bee is messing with the puppy
the puppy is messing with the dog
the dog is messing with the milk
the milk is messing with the cat
the cat is messing with the baby
the baby is messing with the rug
the rug is messing with the mom
the mom is messing with the bed
the bed is messing with the baby under the tree
the tree is messing with the baby worms.

Our students have taken it on!  We have 10 children (so far!) who have met the goal.
Now, Tree House needs to keep its promise.

Next Wednesday, June 9th, we have our limo reserved for the trip.  We may need to reserve a second limo!

The limo company has given us a reduced rate, but we still need some help to fund those limo seats.
We will be riding from Tree House to the Franklin Fountain Ice Cream shop in Old City.  For each child, this trip will cost about $25.

Will you fund one of our young people for this reward trip?

Click here to donate a seat.

Thank you for being a part of the adventures and learning at Tree House Books!

warmly,
Darcy Sebright
Executive Director
