 Good Evening Parents, Guardians and Students:

NMS Book Drive

NJHS will be hosting a book drive March 20-24th to benefit BookGive. Books will be collected in each of the pods.  Our school-wide goal is to collect 500 books. Thank you in advance for supporting literacy and our greater Denver community.

• NEW books for children and adults (you can purchase online at The Bookies where 10% of book sales supports BookGive)

• Books in Spanish for children and adults

• Children's books (board books through young adult)

• Diverse books for children and adults

• General fiction

• General nonfiction
