The end of quarter 2 is quickly approaching, along with the arrival of the holiday season and track out! As we wrap up over the next few weeks, keep an eye out for essential information.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Book Fair
Our Arctic Adventure is quickly approaching. A blizzard of books are heading our way. We are going to venture deep into the ice cold polar regions for the coldest reading expedition ever. Each student will have the opportunity to create a wish list during library class. Their wishes are examples of books they saw at the fair and would like to add to their personal libraries at home. We highly encourage parents to come with or without their children to browse what is available at this year's fair. In addition to being open for sales during the school day, there will be an opportunity for parents and families to shop the fair on December 7th (Saturday School) from 8:45-10:45 am and December 10th from 5:30-7:30 pm.
If you are interested in volunteering as a cashier please, complete our SignUp Genius. The book fair runs much more smoothly with the help of parents.
If there are any questions, please, let me know, cminton@wcpss.net.
