Special thanks to parents Carolyn Bowen and Susan McKay along with the school’s librarian Ms. Logan for organizing this year’s book fair! We would also like to send a special thanks to all the parent volunteers that helped keep the fair open for all to enjoy.
Our Book Fair was a huge success due to the hard work of our volunteers and all the families who made purchases from the selection of books sent to our school by Scholastic. We are happy to report we sold more than $2,000 in books and other merchandise!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued support! We couldn’t do it without Y-O-U!
Due to the inclement weather last week and yesterday’s math night, we have rescheduled this week’s PTA meeting to Thursday, April 6, 2017 at 6:00 pm.
