MOVIE NIGHT!

Thank you to our chairs,Deb Barcalow and Deb Clark for putting on a great event! And thank you to the Lindelow family for donating the use of their popcorn machine, their popcorn and supplies, and their time spent running it for us!!

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR

Our Scholastic Book Fair will be held in the library, the week of February 1st through February 5th. Home & School is donating 100% of the proceeds of the fair to the school library. Please see the attached flyer for more information, as well as a letter from our librarian, Mrs. Sibley.

We need volunteers to help staff the book fair, so if you can spare a few hours to help out, please sign up here:

If you want to sign up when your child comes through the book fair, please take a look at the attached “sign-up” document to get an idea of when their class has signed up to attend---but please check with your child about when s/he is going! That is the best way to find out!The Book Fair will be open Tuesday and Thursday evening also, to permit parents to browse with their kids, and to look through some parent selections.

Any questions? Please contact Katherine Archibald at . To volunteer, please contact Rebekah Ulmer at .
