Literacy Week and Book Fair-Mon., Dec 3 - Fri., Dec 7
We had a busy and fun-filled week at the Book Fair.....books, detectives, and pjs galore! Thanks to all of you who have purchased books this week. I hope your students have lots of new titles in French, Spanish, and English to read over the holiday break. We close at 5:00 today, so if you haven't made it in yet, stop by the foyer and check out Teacher Wish Lists to purchase something for your child's classroom!
We couldn't have done it this week without our amazing volunteers. Thanks to each of you for your time and especially to Tyresse Horne who assisted us every day! And thank you to Book People and Bonjour Books for supplying the great reads and to our partners Allliance Francais who co-hosted the Soiree on Wednesday evening.
