Book Fair... NEXT WEEK!!!
Mrs. Keen will have library classes as normal next week so students may continue to return and checkout books as the normally do. Open check-out will be open all of next week also. Specials classes coming to the library will need to enter the library from the 2nd grade hallway.
We will be open late Thursday night during the 4th grade performance. We will also be open all day Friday, so encourage parents to stop in the library after their teacher conferences.

If you didn't know, STaR Charts play a part in the federal funding that our campuses receive. We must get them done so that we can continue to federal technology funding.
