Book Fair

After not having the Book Fair in its normal format for a couple of years, it was so nice to have it all set up again and so many excited students and parents ready to purchase books.  Book re-orders were completed on Monday and should hopefully arrive in the next 2 weeks.  Once they arrive they will be distributed as soon as possible.
