Have a teacher conference that week? or on an Early Release day?  Drop on by the Media Center to see our fabulous selection of Scholastic books, including adult bestsellers and cookbooks! 

You can also shop online through the this link:

This is a great way for out of town relatives to find age appropriate books for your student. 

 

Also, volunteers are still needed.  Save 10% on your child's purchases by volunteering a few hours.  We can't do it without you.  Contact chrissyboyce@comcast.net to sign up.  Hope to see you all at the fair!
