Thank you for your support as we tried a new vendor, Usborne Books, for our recent book fair.  It was very successful! We were able to get $1300 in free books!  We can't wait for our additional shelves to arrive so we can enjoy these and other new books.  Many of the students asked about the usual book fair we have, and that Scholastic Book Fair will be held in December   There will be more popular book titles on that fair, as well as, posters and "stuff".  We always appreciate your support so that we can get books and other supplies needed in our media center. As the weather gets cooler, take some time out to relax with your child and a good book.  Happy Reading!
