 The Media Center would like to say Thank You to everyone who participated in our Book Fair this week! We had many amazing Volunteers give their time to help setup, and run the Book Fair. We truly could not have done this without you. We would also like to thank those special donors who contributed to students that would otherwise not have been able to shop at the book fair. Your generosity was so special in the eyes of those students. Lastly, thank you to those who purchased books from our teacher wish list. Our teachers love to receive books and truly appreciate your kindness! Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding during this time of transition to a cashless Book Fair! Overall, it was a success! Our students loved using their eWallets to make purchases! Thank you again!

We will discuss what it looks like at school and in the community. Congratulations to our Super Bears!The Book Fair is Comming!!
