FRIEND OF EDUCATION AWARD WINNER
Mr. Dave Hartman was nominated by Meaghan Lauer, Enrichment Coordinator at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. Ms. Lauer shares: Dave Hartman has been volunteering for the Blessings in a Backpack program at Thomas Jefferson for five years. He’s taken the project under his wings, including having his men’s group provide funding starting this year. Dave packs food bags weekly for students and always makes himself available to come in whenever the Program needs help. Through his volunteerism, he’s been able to provide many opportunities to our families and students in need. Without Dave, the Blessings in a Backpack program at Thomas Jefferson would not be able to provide weekend breakfasts and lunches for over 100 students each year. Dave embodies what a Friend of Education is.

BOOK FAIR AT BARNES AND NOBLE
Thomas Jefferson Elementary will be sponsoring a book fair at Barnes & Noble in Rib Mountain. Our event is scheduled for Saturday, December 1 from 9:00 am - 7:00 pm. There will be face painting, arts and crafts, staff reading books and several activities for families to enjoy at the store. “Paw” the Jefferson Jaguar will also be on hand to greet customers.
Please make sure that when you are ready to pay for your purchase you mention Thomas Jefferson or give the cashier this coupon. We receive a percentage of the profits that Barnes & Noble makes that day when you mention Thomas Jefferson. The money will be used to buy books and incentives for our students.
Look for the barcode bookmarks that went home with students today. This should be used when you check out at Barnes & Noble.
If you can’t be at the store, you can still order online at BN.com and enter in our book fair number, which is 12396073.
