Book Fair: November 18-22
The Book Fair is coming soon and we need volunteers! If you'd like to help set up, take down, and help the kids shop, please sign up today. Volunteer opportunities start on November 15.
Watch your child's Thursday folder for more information on how they'll shop the book fair. During the first part of the week, students will visit the book fair and make a wish list of items to bring home to parents/guardians. Later in the week, students will return to purchase books. Parents can visit the book fair throughout the day and during the after school/evening hours from 3:40-6:30pm on Wednesday, November 20.
More detailed information will be in your child's Thursday folder this week.
