‘Boutique’ Donations Requested - Our final Library sale of the year will be a Mother’s Day theme. Our thrift store table has become one of our students’ favorite places to see what we have to offer. So, we would love to have any “treasures” that you might want to donate to our sale such as jewelry, trinkets, accessories, décor, etc. The idea is that we “kid” price them and then offer attractive wrapping so that they can give them as gifts to their loved ones. Please have them to the library any time before May 3rd. The sale will be held May 5th and 6th before and after school, and during nutrition and lunch. Parents are welcome to shop also. Questions? Contact Kimberly Cook at extension 2045. We use the proceeds from the sales for our prize box, contests, supplies, and various other fun stuff for our students.
