> Recently letters have been sent out to every elementary school in Tennessee  
> and are currently being mailed out to all the elementary schools in the  US 
> regarding a fundraiser using the book "The Sneakiest Pirates".   "The Sneakiest 
> Pirates" was written by Dalton James from Oak Ridge, TN who just  so happens 
> to be my little boy.  We were so impressed by his eagerness to  write a book 
> that was inspired by his teacher Ms. Jan Shoupe that we sent the  book for 
> publication and are donating proceeds from the book back to  schools.  What we are 
> doing is allowing schools across the country to sell  his book and keep $1.00 
> from each book to be donated to their library  fund.  In addition for every 
> book sold in schools across the country we are  donating $.50 to Woodland School 
> towards a teacher fund to use for supplies in  the classroom.  My personal 
> goal is for Dalton to be able to donate  $300000.00 to schools.  The thought is 
> that his little book can inspire  children to write books of their own, honor 
> his teachers that have taught him so  far and hopefully show that if a seven 
> year old can raise that much money for  education how much could everyone else 
> do to help out our schools.  He has  already received numerous write-ups and 
> reviews that are easily accessible by  Googling his book title.  
> The letter has been sent to the schools to the  attention of the librarian.  
> If you could help to get the word out to the  school librarians so this 
> doesn't fall through the cracks we would greatly  appreciate it.  I am attaching the 
> letter and the order form to this  email.  The donations to Woodland are 
> being run through their PTO.  We  hope you can use this to help contribute to our 
> states  school libraries and stimulate writing in our schools and help us in  
> our goal.  If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail us  at:

> Thank you,
