THANKS to ALL OF YOU!
Our Book Fair last week was quite a success! We sold over $5200 and made over $3000 in profits to purchase new books! We'll be trying to beef up the non-fiction and reference section to support Common Core standards across all of the grade levels. You can still order through our online book fair through Sept. 7, the link is http://onlinebookfairs.scholastic.com/default.aspx?f=3144587, and the books will be shipped to the school. It's NEVER too early to plan for birthdays and holidays! Have a safe and restful holiday weekend! Please remember
that we have early dismissal this Friday... Students are dismissed at 11:30. Have a safe and restful Labor Day weekend. We will see the students again on Tuesday, September 3. Parents and students,
