THE BURR PTO PRESENTS 

Book Drive to Help Local School

Burr Community, we need your help!

Instead of holding our annual Book Swap this year, the Burr PTO has decided to hold a children's book drive in order to help P.A. Shaw Elementary School in Dorchester build a library. A school of its size should have a collection of 7,000 books but, with precious few resources, Shaw's library has only 2,000. Many of the kids at this school don't have any books at home. All of the students at Shaw receive free breakfast and lunch, some are homeless and many are in foster situations. In short, this school needs our help. 

Do you have books your family is ready to pass on? Make a real difference and donate them to Shaw Elementary. We will be collecting books in the Burr parking lot on Sunday, June 4th from 3-5pm. Please forward this message to as many people as you can (including outside the Burr community) and ask them to help us build a library for the children at Shaw Elementary. 

Hope to see you at the book drop-off next Sunday!
