This year, the Renner students will be “SPYING” their way to a good book and taking the “GET SMART … ER … READ” challenge during our annual Scholastic Book Fair.

Book Fair will be in our Library March 4 - 11, open every day from 8 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., plus open during the 6th Grade Choir Concert, Thursday, March 4 from 5:30 - 8:00, and also during OPEN HOUSE, Tuesday, March 11, from 6 - 8 p.m.

Now is a great time to stock up on some good books. This year, if we meet or exceed our sales goal of $10,000, the entire school will enjoy a one-night “HOMEWORK HOLIDAY!” Also, for every $5 purchase, or increment there of, purchases will receive a ticket to vote for their lunch period. The lunch period with the most votes will win the privilege of lunch OUTSIDE in the back field - date to be selected to ensure a wonderful spring day so they can delight in the fresh air!

As always, we’ll have lots of new books and some of the perennial favorites, a at least 2 fun contests for the students. Mark your calendars NOW for BOOK FAIR. Volunteers are also welcome - please contact Debra Copley by email or by calling (972) 403-7807.

You bet it is, because from January 25 through February 19, Renner is supporting Operation Kindness.

Operation Kindness is a no-kill animal shelter dedicated to providing quality care and loving homes for homeless and unwanted dogs and cats.

As our winter outreach project, Renner is helping by donating supplies which will help the organization take care of the animals …

They need everything from cage cleaning supplies to pet toys. Your donations of supplies can be left in the silver cans near the main office until February 19.

Let’s show Operation Kindness how Renner can be for the dogs and cats - donate today!!!
