We are very excited to announce the return of our Scholastic Book Fair! This will take place in the library starting Tuesday September 28th and will run until the end of conferences on Thursday October 7th.
Fliers will go home with students prior to the start of the book fair. Students will have an opportunity to shop during their library class or if parents would like to shop with their student, it will be open during Parent/Teacher conferences.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Binz or Mrs. Kriete

We only have one week left for our parents and community to complete the survey! If you haven't completed it yet, please do so and share with a friend.
