Dino-Mite Book Fair March 4th - 8th
The Scholastic Spring Book Fair is just around the corner and we plan to have a Dino-Mite time! Your student should have come home today with a flyer showing you some of the latest and most exciting books. Each classroom will also get a chance to preview the book fair on Monday or Tuesday to make a wish list they can bring home.
Students can come during the day with their teacher's permission, or you can shop with them after school until 3:30. The Book Fair will also be open early during the Grand's Breakfast and late on Open House night!
Class & Spring Pictures TOMORROW!
Please note the following:
- Class pictures must be paid for in advance! Send exact cash, check or money order in the envelope attached to the flyer, or, pay online at mylifetouch.com on or before 2/28. Vaughan's Picture Day ID is TX098052G0.
- Please write your online payment code on the Class Picture Order Form attached to the flyer and return to school so that we will have records when the pictures are delivered!
- Individual student pictures will be taken the same day. These picture packets will be sent home for you to preview before purchasing. Choose your background by completing the Individual Picture Day Form (also attached to the flyer). Students will need to hand this to the photographer at the time their picture is taken or a default background will automatically be chosen.
Order forms went home with students in the Wednesday folders week before last. Extra order forms are available at the front desk.
