This past school year, the library earned $724. through this program.
Library Books: With the school year rushing to an end, please return all library books. If you get an overdue notice, please search high and low at home and in your classrooms for the missing book.

Please remember to recycle your old ink cartridges by bringing them to school. (There is a box for old cartridges on the lower floor, in the corner near the ramp to the Art/Music/Computer rooms.) THANK YOU!
