Thank you, families and Book Fair volunteers!

Thank you for supporting literacy and our school! Students were excited about new and familiar books when they visited the book fair. Thanks to the generosity of all the families who donated books, there are new books in classrooms and in the school library for all to read.


Attend this Friday's PTA morning meeting to hear a recap about the book fair and other fundraising efforts, like Thanksgiving Eve carnival.
