  The Scholastic Book Clubs ClassroomsCare is a philanthropy-based 
literacy campaign designed to teach children about the joys and 
importance of reading and giving. For each class that reads 100 books 
by Dec. 31, Scholastic Book Clubs, a division of Scholastic Inc., the 
global children's publishing and media company, will donate 100 books 
to disadvantaged children nationwide. A total of up to one million new 
books will be donated. The ClassroomsCare initiative, now in its fourth 
year, is open to all classrooms nationwide through Scholastic Book 
Clubs catalogues and the Scholastic web site. Teachers of students in 
grades K-8 who order from Scholastic Book Clubs in September and 
October automatically receive a free ClassroomsCare participation kit, 
complete with a colorful poster to record classroom reading, as well as 
a take-home reproducible letter to get friends and family involved.
