Scholastic Book Fair and Coin Drive
The Scholastic Book Fair was held March 22nd-24th. Thanks to the many volunteers our Grand event was a huge success, it was great to see so many of our friends come out to shop!!! The students were able to visit Clifford, enjoy s’mores trail mix, lemonade, campfire stories and camp craft stations. The scholastic dollars we earned from the sales at the book fair will be used by teachers to by supplementary materials for their classrooms.
Thank you to everyone who donated change during our coin drive this year. With your help the classrooms raised just over $200!!!! Teachers were able to supplement the curriculum with additional books from our Scholastic Book Fair. The totals for each classroom were very close, so we had a popcorn party for all on Friday! Thanks again for your ongoing support of the teachers and the Nursery School.
