There’s nothing like hearing the words “first day back at school” to bring back some powerful memories from your childhood, and we’d like to hear yours! Maybe it was introducing yourself as the new kid in class, finding out who you were going to be sitting next to, or even getting lost on the way to your next lesson… These formative experiences tend to stick around for years to come, and with many children starting school this week, new memories are being created right now!

To commemorate back-to-school, RIF is giving away a set of five books plus cool RIF stuff to a random winner. All you have to do is share your favorite memory with us, in no more than a single sentence, by commenting underneath this blog post or on our Facebook page no later than noon EST on Wednesday, August 26. We’ll also share top posts as part of our ongoing #backwithbooks campaign.

To further celebrate this time of year, RIF has teamed up with Barnes & Noble College Booksellers as part of a matching gift campaign. For every dollar donated to RIF, Barnes & Noble College Booksellers will double the donation up to $50,000! That’s a lot of books for kids who need them most this school year. Visit www.rif.org/backwithbooks to give, and in the meantime share your First Day stories with us!
