There will be a limited number of them available for sale in the office when the books come in. We will let you know when those are available. For those who have ordered yearbooks, they typically are delivered the last week of school in June. Bookworms  We just completed another successful week of Bookworms! Every student in Kindergarten and Grade 1 left school with a book he/she chose and a smile! This is an early literacy program funded by MESA with books purchased through Scholastic Dollars earned at our Fall and Spring Book Fairs. We would like to thank the AMAZING committee of parent volunteers -- Brittany Collins, Jennifer Winrow, Christine Gardosik, Stephanie Znoj, Lisa Beall, Jennifer Fontaine, Jen Hill, Sara Carnevale, Angela McBrine and Rachel Bailey who make this program run smoothly!
