The Preschool Scholastic Book Fair was a great success. Thank you to all of you who came by on Sunday and purchased books for your own collections! We are very appreciative of those who purchased books for our classrooms from the teachers’ wish list, too. Through the Scholastic Dollars we earned from sales, we were able to restock many of our torn and chewed books.
