Between the Stacks
Greetings from the SLES library!!! I wanted to make sure you had information about our upcoming bookfair. It is 3/2 - 3/6 during your students’ library time. We will also have extended hours after school from 4:15 - 6:15 on Tuesday 3/3 and Thursday 3/5. This is a great fundraiser for our school and something that our kids look forward to every year. We need a lot of volunteers to make this happen. Jobs helping set up, crowd control and checkout during the fair, and tearing down the fair are needed. Here is a link for the Sign Up Genius -
