FAVORITE SERIES VOTE | |
Twin Hickory Library Monthly Program
Beginning October 1st, the Friends of Twin Hickory Area Library will hold a monthly series rivalry on which the students will have a chance to vote for their favorite book series. The students will have a chance to cast their one vote anytime during the month at the Twin Hickory Library. They will provide their name, grade, school and their favorite choice. At the end of the month, we will choose one winning student from the entries and count up to find out which was the Favorite Series. Both the winning student and their school will receive a $10 gift card to Barnes and Noble. We will deliver the gift cards to the school and send out an email with the winning series. Every month of the school year until May a vote will take place. Check out the October Books! |

YEARBOOKS NOW ON SALE | |
Get yours for FREE . . .
This year we are offering an incentive for early, ONLINE orders. Each book ordered before October 15th gets you one entry into a raffle to have your money refunded and we're refunding two books! The cost of the high-quality, color, 72-page hard cover yearbook from Jostens is only $20 through December 31st. Beginning January 1st the cost is $25. Personalization can only be done ONLINE and the deadline for that feature is December 31st. If you prefer to pay by check, you can download an order form or request an order form from your teacher.
We only pre-order a certain number of yearbooks and sold out of our extra copies almost immediately last year and had to turn some students down. Make sure you reserve your copy today.
Lastly, we want all students represented in the yearbook so we are recruiting classroom photographers to capture moments from special activities, field trips, plays, etc. Class photographers and/or parents can upload these pictures easily by clicking on the icon on the PTA website homepage.
