The Spring Book Fair has come to an end. It was a very successful fair, with over 1500 books put into the hands of our students. I would like to thank the parents that volunteered at the fair. Whether it was setting up, helping with little kids during the fair or dipping ice cream during our family event, thank you. A special shout out to my 5th grade girls that came after school one night and helped set the fair up, you girls rock. But most of all I want to thank everyone who shopped at the fair, who sees the value of encouraging our students to read. It is a great joy to work with you all. Thank you, thank you, thanks you.
