Whiting Lane Book Fair
"Do you B.O.G.O.?"

Monday, June 9 to Thursday, June 12, Mrs. Gluck will be hosting an End of Year/Jump into Summer Reading Book Fair.  The best part is, that for every book that you buy, you get one (of lesser or equal value) free!  A perfect way to stock your at home book shelves with new reading material for the summer months or purchase a book to donate to your child's teacher as an end of the year gift!  The book fair will be open during the following times:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
8:00-9:30

Book Signing

Kristi Luetjen waits for her signed copy.

Lauren tells us how she didn't read a book until she was 13 years old and recommends teachers use quality literature to motivate students to read.

First Grade Teacher, Linda Smith, is psyched to get her very own copy of Emma Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree.
