Conference Time Parent Book Fair
Parents,
There will be a book fair for parents during conference time. This is your chance to shop without the children seeing you. A gift wrapping station will be available. All profits benefit our school library. There will be some raffles. No purchase necessary to enter the raffles. Just stop by and say Happy Holidays to get your raffle ticket.
I am looking for a few parents to cover some of the shifts as I have library meetings to attend. Please email me (melightstone@soudertonsd.org) if you can cover a 2-3 hr. shift on any of the three dates listed.
