In order for us to make our spring book fair a success, we need your help. Please CLICK HERE for our volunteer sign-up link if you would like to be a volunteer at the book fair!
P.S. Moms - don't forget that you are invited to stop by the book fair during our "Donuts with Mom" event on April 17th and 18th!
Donuts with Moms
- Please park in the rear of the building (bus lot). Enter from Hoosier Road. Once that lot fills up, we will park cars in the front.
- Enter through Door 6 near the portable classrooms at the rear of the building. RSVP's and payment are required to attend the breakfast. Sorry - no walk-ins for breakfast will be accepted.
- Students with last names beginning with A-K will come with their moms on Tuesday, April 17th.
- Students with last names beginning with L-Z will come with their moms on Wednesday, April 18th.
- The event is from 8:00 - 8:45 AM on both days.
- All are invited to attend the book fair in the media center both mornings. Anyone wishing to attend the book fair only should park in the front lot and enter through the front door (Door 1).
- Be aware that our buses will drop students off in the front of the building on our "donut" mornings. This means that drop off for the Y and the car rider line will operate differently - please pay attention to the staff members who will be directing traffic.
- As a reminder, the forms are due by Friday, April 13th. Unfortunately, we cannot take late RSVPs.
Thank you for helping to make this a memorable event for our students!
