Movie Night – REBOOKED
We are pleased to share that our Family Movie Night has been REBOOKED. Save the date for Thursday, May 15th 6:00 to 8:00pm. More information and ticket purchases will be sent home early May.
Spring Scholastic Book Fair
We originally scheduled our Book Fair to take place during Student-Led Conferences in March. However, when those conferences were moved on-line, holding the Book Fair wasn’t possible. We had hoped to re-schedule the Book Fair to coincide with our upcoming Spring Concert on April 24. However, after much discussion, this isn’t going to be feasible either. It is with a heavy heart that we have cancelled the Book Fair, and it will not be re-scheduled during this school year.
We always strive to offer up a Book Fair that is inviting and offers books that interest all readers in a relaxing atmosphere. This isn’t possible when the Fair piggy-backs onto such a busy evening. We want to showcase the school, the library and the available books in the best possible light. Scheduling the same night as the Spring Concert wasn’t going to provide that opportunity.
We do have Book Fairs already scheduled for the 2025-26 school year, so we will “see you at the Book Fair in November”.
