Spring BOGO Book Fair
Seems like everyone loves this fair. Save lots of money and buy books to last you through the summer. The free item is of equal or less in value. Mrs. Lightstone often helps students and their families save money and sometimes that means that they buy their book at half price instead of buy one get one free. Inventory for this sale moves quickly so try to visit before Open House on May 10th. Book fair opens at 5 pm on Open House.
Please volunteer by signing up on the online book fair sign up.
