Join The Goddard School for Bernie's Book Drive!

The Goddard School in Plainfield has partnered with Bernie's Books, an organization that donates reading material to children and families in need. We are passionate about this mission and we need your help!

Our goal is to collect 5,000 new or gently used books by January 23, 2014, which is National Reading Day. Stop by our drop boxes at our school (5005 West Theodore Street) or at The Timbers Senior Living Center (1100 North River Road in Shorewood).

This past week, we collected 532 books already! At this rate, we'll reach our goal in no time, but we still need your help! Stop by your local Goddard School or for more information, visit:
