Fall Book Fair=SUCCESS!

The fall book fair was a great success.  Several students, teachers, and parents were able to purchase wonderful books last week.  One 3rd grade class even had a hands-on lesson over estimation at the book fair.  In addition, numerous students brought items to donate to the Humane Society of Northeast Texas during Family Night on Thursday.  Thank you for supporting the Gilmer Elementary School library!
