Ways to Support the Classroom through Scholastic.
Yes, that is right. I have been called a Scholastic-aholic several times throughout my life. In grade school, the highlight of my month was bringing home the Reading Club Flier and seeing what new books were now available.

Then, working with community agencies, Scholastic provided a ways to help other nonprofits and afterschool programs.
I am a huge supported and want to highlight three ways parents can support their child and their child's school through Scholastic.
