"Reading is S'more fun with grands" was the theme of the Elementary's recent book fair. Students shared their favorite memory with their grandparents with their memory balloons. Grandparents shopped with the littles and then had time to read the new books to them before they received their s'more kit to enjoy at home.
Elementary Librarian Dara Gulick said, "Shoutout to Mrs. Allen for helping the students create their artwork and displaying it in the commons. Thank you to everyone that came out to shop. Our book fair was a huge success!"
