If you know Blue Margin, you know we love Book Trust.
At Blue Margin, our work is shaped by the people behind it. Learn more about the team and values that drive what we do.
In our office you’ll find thank you notes from Book Trust students, a canvas copy of their flagship photo hanging on the wall (taken by our very own Jon Thompson), and, of course, you’ll find a full table of Blue Marginers at their annual fundraising event “Books on Tap”. Book Trust is Fort Collins grown with a nationwide reach, just like us.
When Book Trust invited us to participate in their classroom book-box reveal at Laurel Elementary School, our team was eager to sign up. I mean, who wouldn’t love to spend an afternoon reading to children who are excited to crack into their new books!
Captain Underpants, National Geographic’s Volcanoes!, and Dora the Explorer were just a few of the books we read to first graders at Laurel Elementary. If we were really lucky, the students read the books to us, even in Spanish!
It’s always a pleasure to spend an afternoon with eager students who are excited to read. Book Trust directly impacts student’s lives, and as long-time supporters of their work, we are excited to see them grow to serve more students across the nation.
