We need your help...

We will preview the bookfair today. After today you can send your child with money to purchase. Please send me a quick note so I know to look for it. I have asked the kids to come to the classroom FIRST to show me their money and to make sure the book fair is open to purchases.The book fair is completely run by volunteers. The more volunteers we have the more opportunities for purchase times. Please see the note below from Mrs. Wall and consider donating some time.

And don't forget that Media by Moonlight is on Dec. 5th following the PTA general meeting. The PTA meeting is at 4:40 and Media by Moonlight begins at 5:30.
