RE: Proposal for Library Books
Nevada Avenue Elementary School

Nevada Elementary School Library would like to increase our collection of books to meet Los Angeles Unified School District’s goal of 18 books per student. Our total number of books at this time is 8,367 which equal 13.28 books per student. ( we currently have 613 students). The districts goal of 18 minus 13.28 =4.72 books x 613 students = 2.819.36 books that need to be purchased to meet the goal of 18 books per student. The number of books we need 2,896.36 times the average cost of a book $16.00 = $46,293.76. As you can see we do not have enough books per student the majority of our existing collection are beyond the acceptable age range (copyright date). In addition to all of the above each Accelerated Reader Quiz purchased with each book is $2.92 each. We desperately need to budget each year for the purchase of library books. Please consider funding at least $5.000.00 for books or any type of donation will be helpful.

Our Children needs your help and support!!

A.,

I wish you much success on raising funds for Nevada Elementary. However, the reason I was contacting you was on a professional note. I read that you have a home-based advertising-related business. I publish The Education & Enrichment Guide / www.EducationAndnrichment.com. I am going into my 7th year and I am looking for Moms with Advertising backgrounds that would be interested in selling print advertising. The publication/web site is very successful with growth each year. I provide leads including local private schools, enrichment programs, summer camps, & educational resources throughout the San Fernando Valley & Westside. I have an advertiser renewal percentage over 95% year-after-year. The guide works, has a strong following, an incredible distribution network of over 1,200 locations and an annual circulation of 80,000 free copies. It is an easy sell as it sells itself. My challenge has only been getting it in front of more local businesses only becaue I too am a Mom of 2 young boys and I run my business full-time by myself. I have another Mom who has been selling ads for 2 years and loves the extra income it provides her. I was drawn to your message and your professionalism and felt compelled to send this note. If you are interested in talking further, please contact me this week at ###-###-####.
