K-Kids Literacy Bingo Night and Book Drive
The K-Kids are asking for book donations from our South Family. These books should be gently loved and can be for any age group! We will have them sorted by picture book, early chapter books, teen books, and adults. Any donations would be greatly appreciated!
If you are able, please send books in this week or next with your child. They will be given to the K-Kids representative in our class to be sorted.
Thank you for your constant help in projects like this!
ISTEP Starts Next Week
I will also be sending out another snack sign up for those who are interested.
