Loxley, Alabama  - September 8, 2010 – 5th graders from Loxley Elementary School in Mrs. Grimes' classroom are helping other children while they help themselves this school year by participating in Scholastic Book Clubs’ ClassroomsCare program, a philanthropy-based literacy campaign designed to teach children about the joys and importance of reading and giving – and to encourage them to read everyday to lead better lives.

This fall, each student is challenged to read 10 books and, in turn, Scholastic Book Clubs, a division of Scholastic, the global children’s publishing and media company, will donate one million new books to disadvantaged children nationwide.
