book fair

Here's to Our Heroes!  Reading Saves the Day!


The Pre/Lower School Book Fair is back and is celebrating our reading heroes, all those who inspire children to pick up a book and read!  The fair opens on October 15 in the Pre/ Lower School Media Center with this year's theme, "Here's to our Heroes! Reading Saves the Day!"  During the past two weeks, students participated in the "Heroes' Wall of Fame." Our young Spartans posted photographs and/or names of people they admire who have encouraged them to read. 


The book fair continues next week, through Friday, October 22. Parent/Teacher Conference Day (Wednesday) is an excellent time to stop by the Book Fair with your child while you are on campus.
