The Alain Locke Charter School choir loved performing at SWC Technology Partners and the Oakbrook Microsoft Store, serenading and playing instruments for staff and customers – and santa! The students all enjoyed a technology scavenger hunt and received goodie bags.
#GivingTuesday is a special call to action to create a global day of giving that brings diverse organizations and communities around the world together to give back. This year, Alain Locke is participating in #GivingTuesday to rally contributions for our book drive. Our goal is to add an additional 200 books per classroom, for all 15 of our classrooms. That’s a lot of books, but it’s possible with your help. Follow the link below and help share the gift of reading with our students—and make #GivingTuesday a success at Alain Locke.

Alain Locke currently only has about 200 books per classroom. We need that number to be 600 or more. So if you love to read, and you think every kid should have that same love, too, please support our book drive by visiting our book registry on Amazon today: https://smile.amazon.com/registry/baby/3KXQE7S4MPXFY
