The document describes a 4th grade student's advocacy project to keep students reading over school vacations. The student created letters and posters advocating for donations to purchase new books. They contacted local businesses seeking gift card donations but only received two donations. Though the project failed to gain much support, the student learned they could advocate for important causes despite being shy.

My Advocacy statement: I feel reading is so important; th so, lets keep all 4 grade students at MLS reading over vacations.
My Plan: Contact school and get permission. Contact book stores and all local businesses. Create and print many advocacy letters to distribute in town. Make posters and fliers advocating what I wanted.
Set a date and time and place for raffle. Use all proceeds towards new books.
I visited all businesses in town seeking donations.
I feel it is so important to keep children reading over vacations. They keep their skills up. They enter a whole new world when they read. It may even boost their confidence.

Businesses I contacted: Mings-McDonalds-True Value-Tanning Salon-Dunkin Donuts-McLeods-Hair Salon-Rite-Aid-Family Dollar-Subway- Hannerford-Bucksport House of Pizza- The Alamo-Gold Star Cleaners-Florist Shop- and a few more.
I patiently waited: I received two calls on the first nite. I was very excited-I was on my way to making a difference.
Those were the only two calls I received. I was pretty bummed.

Here are the Gift Cards I received.
But that didnt stop me- I worked even harder.
I even called the bookstores again. They never returned my call.
Even though my project failed I did learn one thing about myself; that is, I can advocate for a very worthy cause and feel great about it. Im painfully shy; but, I grew a lot from doing this project.
