GPE parents: Our Book Blast adventure has begun! We are on a treasure hunt! The first step in this adventure is for your student (and you) to take ten minutes and register for our Book Blast event.
After registering yourself, you will invite ten or more friends and family to support your childâs home libraries and help their classmates build their libraries.
Next, please sign the treasure map, and send it back tomorrow.
When they give their completed signed treasure map with completed registration to their teacher, your child will receive their cool prizes tomorrow. They will also be entered into a drawing to win a treasure chest stuffed full of cash and prizes!
Here is the link for registering your student(s): http://bookblast.booksarefun.com/GrandPrairieES
