Box Tops News:

 Wow!!!!! I would like to thank the parents, teachers and students for sending in your Box Tops this year.  We just received our last check for 2010-2011. We raised $1652.00. My goal for the year was to raise at least $700.00.  We will continue to collect Box Tops next year so make sure and save them over the Summer.

"Hit the books" reading incentive: Elementary students have just over 2 weeks to complete their reading for the Lynchburg Hillcats/ Sylvan Learning Center spring reading incentive. Remember, as you complete the requirements for each base, have your parent initial it. Then bring the bookmark for your teacher or Mrs. Main to sign by MAY 17th!  Take it to Sylvan Learning Center to claim your prizes including free tickets to the May 20th Hillcats baseball game and other goodies from Sylvan.  Don't forget, those who complete the goal will have an ice cream sundae party in the library!  Contact Mrs. Main if you have any questions!  [email protected]   

 

Library books due May 18th:  All books will be due to both libraries by May 18th to begin inventory.  The exception to this will be books that are for a class project/book report.  We do have many paperback novels that can be lent out that are not included in the inventory process. See Mrs. Main if you have any questions or you are not sure what your child may have out.  Thanks for helping us get the books back!!
