Ridgeway Elementary students exchange books at annual winter swap | Click the photo to read our story: columbiamissourian.com/news/k12_educa…

Every student at Ridgeway Elementary School has the opportunity to leave school on Thursday with a new book thanks to the school’s second winter book swap event.🧵

Every student was encouraged to contribute up to five books that were ready to be donated or discarded, with teachers contributing to the drive as well.

“The kids really look forward to it,” Principal Taryn Brinlee said. “They get to come in and pick up their own books and peruse through the things that other kids have loved and read. It’s just another opportunity to get books in the kids’ hands.”

Book swap happened to coincide with silly sweater day and here’s our winner Mrs. Malloy! Teachers were able to check out donated books to take for their classroom as well!

In the stretch between January and April, teachers often see students’ stamina flagging and performance declining. These tactics can help combat burnout and maintain momentum: edut.to/3SCOwEd

Kindness counts. 🧡
