Item Description

The Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools partners with the Eden Prairie Noon Rotary each year on My Book Day.  The My Book Day event gives a brand new hard cover book to each first grader in Eden Prairie schools. 

The goal of this special day for the first graders is to encourage the love of reading for a lifetime. This program supports classroom curriculum but more importantly it provides the tools and inspiration to bridge the gap into the home for continued learning and development.

This year, first graders will choose a book from the following collection of books they’ve been reading during the year: 

  • Be Who You Are by Todd Parr
  • Thunder Boy by Sherman Alexie
  • Be the Change by Arun Gandhi
  • The Book with No Words  byB.J. Novak
  • Emmanuel's Dream by Laurie Thompson
  • Jangles: A Big Fish Story by Davis Shanon

Please support My Book Day by purchasing a book for $20.  Your name will be on a placard in a book presented to every first grader on April 24, 2017.  

Contact Sarah Cheesman at scheesman@edenpr.org with any questions.

Item Special Note

Once you donate, you don't need to do a thing! A book will be delivered to a first grader in your name.
