Our Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon and will turn our media center into our very own bookstore. Find hundreds of books from new and favorite authors, popular series, cool posters and school supplies, not to mention fun! The Scholastic Book Fair will be here from February 24th to March 4th.
Students will be able to shop at school during this time. Setting up an ewallet is the easiest safest way to shop. Look for flyers to come home soon.
Parents you can also shop on line by visiting our website: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/corleyelementaryschoolph. Books ordered online will be shipped directly to your home.

African American History Month
Each morning, on the news show, we will feature an influential African American. This year we are asking for participation from students all over the building. We call this featured segment "The Legacy Lives On." We are inviting students to dress up as the person and/or use props to share information about this person's accomplishments.
We will continue our fact finder contest. Students are encouraged to read the posters and/or doors around the room and share the facts they have learned. Prizes will be awarded to participating students.
Our goal is to use our displays and activities to educate and inspire the students and staff at Corley.
