From Mrs. Main in the library

CHRISTMAS WISH LIST: Thanks once again to those who  donated a book to the library in honor of a teacher or loved one this Christmas through our "Wish tree" program. We will be adding 25 new books to the library! If you took an ornament off the tree in the lobby and haven't returned it, please contact Mrs. Main: main_h@hcrs-va.org  

 

 

ACCELERATED READER NEWS            

A.R. STORE: Students in grades 2-5 will be "shopping" at the Accelerated Reader store next Wednesday, January 16th. Mrs. Main is looking for donations of any "prizes" you may have around that you would like to donate. Perhaps you are starting early on spring cleaning and have unwanted items: (unwrapped happy meal toys, gently used or new other items such as beanie babies, etc.) If you have any items such as these, send them on to the elementary library. Thanks so much.

1st GRADE A.R.   We are excited to report that 1st graders will begin the Accelerated Reader program this week. Parents of 1st graders will receive some information about the program.
