Help Us Stock the Shelves for Teachers
While ourĀ Summer Reading ChallengeĀ has become a nationally recognized annual campaign highlighting the best book picks of summer, its roots are simple: our love for the summer reading lists teachers would hand us on the last day of school. And if weāre being honest, we loved that shiny gold star sticker weād get on the first day of school for completing the summer list!
In honor of our 10th anniversaryĀ Summer Reading ChallengeĀ (#SRC2019), BookSparks is partnering with Teach Your Heart Out to help #10featuredteachers fill their shelves AND their hearts. BookSparks will love on educators by featuring 10 nominated teachers who will have their classrooms filled with supplies. In addition, each of our #10featuredteachers will also receive the opportunity to attend a Teach Your Heart Out event thanks to the support of the conference.
This program is open to all U.S. teachers. Nominations are now closed and our #10featuredteachers are featured below. Watch for nominations to open again in 2020.
