2022-23 Wrap-Up

Thank you for a great Book Fair!

We had a huge turnout for the book fair last week, so thank you so much!  The library earned nearly 70 new books, folks purchased more than 400 books for teachers from their wish lists, and children enrolled R.E.A.D.’s program will receive more than 1,200 books thanks to your purchases. The final numbers are still being tabulated, but we estimate that we raised more than $5,500 for the PTA.
