your elementary school library: <i>Rickshaw Girl</i> by Mitali Perkins
and <i>The Penny Pot</i> by Stuart J. Murphy. Homeschoolers and students
in private elementary schools are welcome to participate, but they do not
receive the donated books. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

the books should relate to money and finances. Students must read at
least 3 books from the recommended reading list, and they can enter the drawing
for a college savings plan scholarship up to 10 times. <br>
