Please stop by and see what new books we have this year during your Open House visit on:
Wednesday, April 1 for grades K – 2,
Thursday, April 2 for grades 3 – 5.
Be on the look out for the One for Books flyers. Last year the students raised enough money to buy 89 books for their teachers’ libraries. Let’s see if we can beat that number this year!
