[aisle] Student Book Subscription

[Kristi Pierce]

I'm planning on launching something very similar right after Christmas.
I'm going to test it on a couple classes first to make sure I have the
kinks worked out.  My plan is for me to curate a bi-weekly book pic for the
kids who sign up.  We are mostly in-person, so this will be for them, and
not the remote kids.  I have drive-thru and digital services for them.

After the test with a couple of classes, I'll have any student who wants to
participate fill out a GForm that lets me know what kind of books they like
and subjects they are interested in.  Then I pick the book, and ta-da they
are surprised every other Monday with a new book checked out to them and
delivered to them 1st hour!  I have drop boxes around the school if they
are done with their books or decide they aren't for them.  Plus each book
comes with a cute comment card the kids can fill out for me to let me know
what they loved and didn't love about the book I chose.  This just gives me
a little more info to tailor the books to them.

Let me know how it goes for you!  :)

Good luck,

Kristi
