Calling all families and students 📣📚 Operation Book Blast officially kicks off today, and we are excited to launch this fun reading and fundraising adventure with our school community 🕵️‍♂️✨

Elementary students will bring home a Treasure Map today that explains how they can earn free books 📖, fun prizes 🎁, and entries for special rewards, including a Treasure Chest filled with cash 💰 and the Epic Treasure Chest grand prize 🏆. Any student who completes their Treasure Map with their family will earn prizes. The first 24 students to finish will receive their prizes as early as tomorrow ⏰, so we encourage families to make this the first thing you do after school today.

Teachers are launching Operation Book Blast in classrooms today and sending a Treasure Map home with each student 🗺️. Prizes for completed Treasure Maps will be available in the office tomorrow morning, so students should stop by the office first thing before heading to class 🏫😊

Thank you for supporting reading, excitement, and school spirit through Operation Book Blast 💙🦅

Dear Deer Creek-Lamont Elementary School Families,

We're excited to partner with Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program to grow our students' home libraries and encourage more reading over screen time! Tonight, we're asking you to take 7 minutes to support your Student Home Library initiative.

Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative.

Get started here: https://app.booksarefun.com/DeerCreekLES74636

How it works:

Click the link and register your student(s).

Win a trip to Disney!

Each supporter who clicks your student's link earns an entry for a chance to win a Disney trip. More clicks = more entries! For example, if five different people click the link, your family gets five entries into the drawing!

Why I love this program:

Every student gets new, age-appropriate books.
100% of contributions go to books and classroom supplies.
Takes less than 10 minutes and NO financial requirement from you.
Check out the attached book list—it's amazing!
More books at home = more reading! We're aiming for 100% participation

Yesterday, we kicked off the celebration with a great pep rally to get everyone excited for today’s Homecoming games.

Today, our 7th–12th-grade students came together to prepare and share a Christmas meal of ham, potatoes, corn, green beans, bread, and desserts. Sitting down together as a school family made the day even more special.

Moments like these remind us what community is all about. Merry Christmas from DCLA.

🌟 Happy Holidays from DCLA!
