Book & Bag Contest
Our 3rd annual Book & Bag contest has begun! Students will earn raffle tickets for outstanding manners now through June 1st. They drop them off in the media center for the book prize they would like to win. Then, on Field Day, we will raffle off each prize and lucky students will have a headstart on their summer reading!
Book Fair
Thank you to everyone for supporting the spring book fair! We sold over $11,000 in books and the media center earned 25% of the profit to update the media center furnishings and collection. Thanks for your support!
