Book Fair News


The Fall Book Fair was a great success! We made over $4000 to purchase books and materials for the library! Thank you to the many volunteers who make the fair run so smoothly. A special word of gratitude to Anita Bonderer, Library Liaison, who coordinates  the volunteers for our library this school year. I appreciate your patronage of the fair as it is the primary source of funds for your school library. Our next fair will be during conference week, March 12 - 16, 2012
