STA FBLA Bookdrive
Where we started:
We are members of St. Teresa's Academy Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). For our community service project this year we wanted to help all kids get the opportunity to learn to read and love to read. So, we teamed up with Church of the Resurrection and are working to supply their Bookmobile.
What is FBLA?
FBLA is a nation wide, high school organization that helps students to prepare for their future in business. They do this through academic competitions, leadership development, and educational programs. Students can compete in a variety of competitions ranging from test's about marketing to creating a website for a start up business.
Goal:
We started this service project to help raise books and money for kids in the Kansas City metro area. Our goal is to raise enough books to fill the bookmobile, which is 2,500 books.
Inspiration
We first looked at the literacy rate in inner-city schools. We felt that the rate was reflected on the students ability to get books to read. This sparked our interest in solving this problem. This lead us to our final project, a book drive.
