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.
