Scholastic Book Club


Scholastic Book Club Flyers are sent home monthly. This gives your child an opportunity to expand their personal library. Scholastic offers books at a discount each month. Please help your child with their selectons - we do not endorse all the books that are offered in the flyers. Happy Reading!

Welcome Back


Our Library has been transformed! Drop by to check out the Reading Corner in the Library. Parents come and relax while waiting for your preschooler/kindergarten child/ren to get out of class. You will find books to share with your little ones or just a quiet place to sit. Thanks to Clancy for a great paint job!
