Today, students will be bringing home the first of the year's Scholastic flyers. Ordering books through the classroom websites helps us earn points through Scholastic that can be redeemed for books for our classroom libraries. Nothing motivates new readers like new books! In September, Scholastic offers a 10,000 point bonus for classroom orders over $300. So, if every family ordered about $10 worth of books, we'd earn the 10,000 points, which is about 100 new books for the classroom. Thank you for your support!! Book Bingo If you have any Summer Book Bingo sheets that need to be turned in, please get those in to us ASAP. The celebration is happening this week.
