Book Fair---Can you help?

Dear Parents (and Grandparents),

The PTO is looking for volunteers to help with the upcoming Book Fair. 

We are seeking volunteers to help students browse and purchase books on November, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, & 18 from 11:30-1:00.  The Book Fair will be set-up in the Library and students will come down with their entire class - - so the more volunteers we have to help, the smoother it will go.  If you’d be willing to help out for an afternoon please let us know.

We are also extending our hours on Thursday, November 19 from 1:00 to 6:00 pm so that families & community members can browse and shop during parent teacher conferences.

If you’d be willing to help out with the Book Fair, please contact Sherry Brinks at sherrybrinks@gmail.com (825-2021/884-9566)

Thanks for supporting your PTO
