 A huge thank you to all of our St. A. families, friends and students for participating in this year's Scholastic Book Fair. It was a huge success!
Did you know that you spent a little more than $12,000 on books, posters, pencils, pens and assorted other really fun and educational stuff?
You did, and we are so thankful! Our school gets a percentage of that, and we are so appreciative of your support.
Keep building your home library and let us help you do it!
