Its an Oasis of Books!! Its Bedlam!! Its the Book Fair!!

The book fair is in full swing but there aren't many days left so hurry on over to the Lower Elementary and check out the selection! There is a wide variety of books, starting with picture books and early reading books for those just starting to read all the way to chapter and series books for 5th-6th-7th graders. There are even books that would interest adults! The students from the lower and upper elementary schools have been allowed to visit the book fair and given "wish lists" to fill out and take home to show parents. We encourage everyone to come and buy a book or two, or three! There really is no limit! Our library gets a "credit" towards scholastic books based on the sales from the book fair that Mrs. Morrow uses to buy books FOR our library to keep those shelves stocked with books for the elementary school kids to browse and check out.

Also, don't forget the Bedlam Change Drive, also through Scholastic. Bring your change and put into the school of your choice! Its a Bedlam battle and the winning team will be announced at the end of the book fair!

The book fair runs from October 4th through October 16th, and it will be open for parents to come during the evenings of Parent/Teacher conferences in case you cant make it during school hours. Parents, also, please check out the teachers wish lists located on the pyramid near the door. If you buy a book off a teacher's list, you will get a grab bag for your child!
