Scholastic Book Fair 
Students will have opportunities to preview the books during school time on the December 4th.  . If parents wish to send funds with children to purchase books themselves, they may on December 5th and 6th. Parents are invited, as well, to come to the school during school hours to purchase books – just please sign in at the office first  The book fair will be open to parents and students after school from 3:05 - 3:30 pm for purchasing books as well.

Scholastic books and gadgets make great Christmas gifts and stocking
stuffers for chilldren. Also, teacher classroom Wish Lists for favourite books will be posted. Parents are able to purchase books as gifts for teachers for their classroom libraries - they make great teacher Christmas gifts as well!
