Burton Valley students support Kincade Fire victims
Photo provided

It's official: Burton Valley Elementary's AIM class annual fundraiser, "the Book Bonanza," was a success once again! Every year, Cathy Martinsen's AIM class raises money from the Book Bonanza and donates it to a local cause. This year, the students of Martinsen's AIM class decided that the proceeds made from the Book Bonanza would be donated to the Kincade Fire victims, in the hope to help them after all they had been through. After weeks of collecting gently used books from Burton Valley families, they priced the books and sold them to other classes and teachers. Books were priced from 10 cents to $3. The AIM students also sold bookmarks, origami, Rainbow Looms, and raffle tickets. When sales began, all the students worked hard, and it paid off. The sales went on for three days before students counted their money for the final total. In the end, they were left with $1,716.50! The students were proud to send in the check for the Kincade Fire victims, knowing that the money they raised would help the lives affected by the fires. Martinsen's class is very thankful for all the support from the BVE community. Their book donations and purchases really helped the class succeed in their goal. Thank you to everyone who supported the Burton Valley Book Bonanza!
