Scholastic Book Fair
We are eagerly anticipating the opening of the Scholastic Book Fair next week in the gym!  The Book Fair Event is Thursday evening, September 27th and there are many other shopping times available.  Please be sure to stop in for this great opportunity to build your child's home library at reasonable prices!  Also, please consider helping your student give to the All for Books Program which provides books for children who have none.  The drop off can for All for Books can be found in our classroom each morning.  For further Book Fair info, please use the link at the top labeled "Scholastic Book Fair".
