Arlington PTA/School Book Donation Drives and Distribution Sites
Complete the form by June 5 to share your current book collection/distribution efforts and interest in either setting up a site and/or collecting books for donation to those in need as well as interest in two new programs to support new book donations. We will post a centralized list once we collect input from PTAs so that schools may connect and share resources.
- Questions? Please contact the PTA/school point person listed regarding specific efforts, or Emily Vincent with any questions that CCPTA may assist with.
- Note to PTAs/Schools: Please contact Dena Porter as you have updates to your current initiatives or other changes to your community support efforts.
Thank you to Arlington PTAs, schools, and families for supporting our community!
