Spring Book Fair!
The whole school is excited about our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. An amazing selection of books is headed our way! At the Book Fair you will find the latest and finest titles for kids, as well as books of interest to parents. Come by and check out the Book Fair during Muffins with Mom (Tuesday, March 6th) or Doughnuts with Dad (Thursday, March 8th). You can contribute books to your child's classroom library by checking out our Teacher Wish Lists. The Book Fair is a great way to get everyone excited about reading. You can also make purchases online before and after the fair (March 2-12) and the books will be shipped for free to our school!
