Children's Book Week Was a SUCCESS!

Children's Book Week (May 12th-May16th) was a success.  We had a Buy One, Get One Free book fair that allowed students to buy some amazing titles at great prices.  In addition, we had an "Unusual Reading Spot" photo contest.  84 students participated by taking pictures reading on planes, tractors, log trucks, and more!  We also had a Book Float parade where 132 students created book floats to represent their favorite book.  Every student that participated in these contests received a prize.  The winners of the contests received prizes such as tickets to AirU trampoline park, Lunar Mini Golf passes, and gift cards to the Mud Hut Pottery shop in Longview.  Pictured below are a few of our Book Float Parade participants.

Buy One, Get One FREE Book Fair

The BOGO Book Fair will run from today through Friday, May 16th.  Each class is assigned a time to visit the shop at the book fair.  If students do not bring money on their assigned day, they will be able to shop on Friday during their grade level's assigned time.  We will have a Family Night on Thursday, May 15th from 4:30-6:30.  If you would like to donate a nonperishable food item to the East Texas Food Bank when you arrive at Family Night, your name will be entered into a drawing to win a basket full of books!  Please remember:
-We do not accept checks.  Please bring cash or credit cards.
-There will be no refunds or exchanges.  All sales are final.
-Parents will not be allowed to shop at the book fair during school hours.  Parents will only be allowed to shop during Family Night on May 15th from 4:30-6:30.
