Another Book Fair has come and gone. I want to thank everyone who helped with set up, volunteered during the fair, or helped with tear down. I love the fair but couldn't do it without all of your help. I also want to thank everyone who shopped at the fair. I love to see the excitement in the eyes of a student when they are getting a new book, or when they are buying something from the 'extra stuff' table. This was our best book fair ever with over 1700 new books put into the hands of our eager learners. The proceeds from the Book Fair will be used to purchase new books for the library so the students can enjoy all the new releases for their favorite series. Once again Thank You and we will see you at our Spring fair.

The Band and Color Guard were proud to Honor our Veterans at our assembly on today. Thank you for your service and dedication!

The 4th grade classes spent the month of October reading a biography of their choice and becoming experts on their famous person. This past Thursday and Friday, they shared their information in a "first person" presentation dressed as their book choice. The students always have such a great time sharing their knowledge with others, while also learning about many other famous people. Well done, 4th graders!
