OUTSIDERS NOVELS
If your child owes books to the media center presently or from previous schools they will not be able to attend the dance on December 12th and other events until the fine and/or book is returned.
Also, if you are out and about at any used book stores and find copies we would love for a donation of these. The books we currently have are in pretty sad condition.
Mrs. Pavese and Mrs. Canerday would be eternally grateful!
