Story
Junior Crew Jumped On Board for Book Fair Hyde Leadership Charter School
Brooklyn, NY
The 10 Junior Crew members of
Hyde Leadership Charter School
Brooklyn tackled promotions, decorations, and raising money for All for Books. The promotions team dressed as pirates, making announcements, presenting book- talks, and more. The decorations team transformed the Book Fair into a pirate ship with Captain Hook and a real fish! Both teams sold raffle tickets for a basket of books at the parent/teacher conferences. Their enthu- siasm was contagious!
