IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

ALL FOR BOOKS COIN WAR

BPC will be holding our All For Books COIN WAR next week, November 11-14. This program benefits 

students in our own school as well as students nationwide by putting books into kids’ hands who otherwise 

would not be able to afford them. We will have three containers available for students to put their coins 

into -- Michigan, Michigan State & Other. Last year, we were able to gift each of our classroom teachers with 

$50 in new books, as well as $140 for our Bauer library, through the change collected in our Coin War. 

Let's see what we can do this year!
