Book Clubs are all the rage @ EFS: We are pleased to announce the expansion of our Book Club series! Historically, this club, run by Mrs. Reynolds, has been for older grades (4th and up). This year's club is currently reading Dan Gutman's The Homework Machine.
Additionally, the Foundation just added a new Book Club for 2nd-3rd graders with Mrs. MacKenzie. We were thrilled to discover great demand for the club (30+ young new readers!) and therefore approved funding for an additional club session, so that all of the children can participate. They are reading Ramona Quimby, Age 8. We look forward to hearing feedback from all of our Book Clubbers!
