For
November & December
Get Ready for the Book Fair – November
30-December 1
The Scholastic Book Fair will be here in
less than a month.
There will be books for students K-12.
Included will be fiction and nonfiction, plus book
sets. The money
we raise from this book fair goes right back into the
library in the form of books and materials.
I also purchase books from the fair for our library
that students recommend.
Please come and shop Monday through Friday, November
30-December 1:
7:30-3:30.
Please check to see if your child has
overdue books.
On the elementary level, books are considered overdue
if they have been checked out for more than two weeks
without being renewed.
At the middle and high school level, books are
considered overdue if they have been checked out for more
than one month without being renewed.
