7)       The Northeast PTO is excited to announce our partnership this year with Emmet’s Book Drive. Emmet Manheim was a student at Stark Elementary School who loved reading. After he passed away just a month shy of his 11th birthday, his parents created Emmet’s Book Drive with the goal of filling the classrooms at each of the Stamford Public elementary schools with engaging, high-interest, brand-new books.

By giving to Emmet’s Book Collection e-Wallet, you can donate money that will be spent at the Northeast Book Fair on books for Emmet’s Book Drive. We think of it as a 3-way win: Northeast will raise more money, Emmet’s Book Drive will collect more titles, and you will have helped to enrich classrooms across Stamford. You can read more about Emmet and Emmet’s Book Drive here www.emmetsbookdrive.com

Have a great weekend!
