Book Fair Update

The Elementary Book Fair is temporarily closed due to water damage from a broken heating unit. I hope that the Book Fair will reopen on Monday, November 9.

The JH Book Fair has ended. We came close to our goal of $2000. With sales and Scholastic incentive programs we earned over $900 to buy Scholastic books. Remember if you missed the JH Book Fair there are still some very good books at the Elementary Book Fair. Come by the Library and take a look.

Thanks to everyone who supported the JH Book Fair and I hope that next year will be even more successful.

Thanks,
Mrs. Tyler
