The library learning commons at JCS, also hosted the Scholastic Book Fair, for one week at the beginning of December. The event was sponsored and run by the JC PTA. A special thanks to Shelly Hone and Bob Chaney for their energy and expertise in running this event. The JC PTA also donated $200 in new books to the JCS library, for your students to check out. We love getting new books around here. Have you read the new Harry Potter? The students are a buzz!
