THE BOOK FAIR IS COMING!
The annual book fair will be arriving in our school soon and will run from Thursday
(10-22) through Wednesday (10-28). Students will be able to purchase a variety of books for their own use. The more books that are sold, the more books we can keep for our library! I am always looking for ways to improve the collection of our library, and this is one of the best ways to increase the number of books.
To try and accommodate more parents, we will be open during parent/teacher conferences on
Monday, October 26. Most days, the book fair will be open from 8:00 – 4:00. However, on Monday, the book fair will be open until 8:00. I hope that this will help some of you get to be a part of the book fair with your children.
Thank you for your participation in the book fair. We are looking forward to an exciting and
successful week!
