Mark your calendars for our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair which will begin Friday, Nov. 13 with a preview day and run through Wed. Nov. 18. The Scholastic fair provides an opportunity for students, teachers and parents to purchase books, while helping the school earn money for our library.

If you cannot help at the fair but would like to help in some way, consider donating a refreshment item for the events held before or after school hours. A form will go home in the next few days where you can indicate if you can help in any of these ways but feel free to e-mail me if
you are interested! hmain@hcfaculty.com
