Christmas Wish List 2015 
Once again, we are presenting the traditional Christmas wish list tree for the library. Through this program, families
are able to donate a book to the library in honor of a faculty/staff 
member, or in honor of a child, memory of a loved one, etc. The tree is in the front lobby near 
the entrance to the cafeteria. If you wish to donate a book to the library in honor or in memory of someone, take an ornament from the tree, fill out the back and return the ornament with the money to the office, the library, or to classroom teacher! (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE BOOK- we will order it from our library bound company) A bookplate will be placed in the book with the names of the donor and person being honored/remembered. This is a gift that will keep on giving year after year each time a child checks out the book! If you can't get over to school to see the tree, contact me and I can select a book for you! Thanks for your support of this program that adds books to our collection each year!
