Birthday Book Cart

Do you want to help promote the love of reading for students at Shaw? This year at Shaw, we will once again have The Birthday Book Cart. Every day after a student has their birthday recognized during morning announcements, they will get to choose a book they WANT to read and keep from The Birthday Book Cart. If you would like to support The Birthday Book Cart, you can purchase a book from our Amazon Wish List, or please feel free to drop off new books or donations to purchase new books at the main office at any time.
