TAP

A group of Teachers And Parents working together on projects that benefit the school and the students.
 
 
Our 2nd Annual Scholastic "Family Event" Book Fair was held on April 19, 2009. It was lots of fun! Although, we didn't get as good of a turn out as last year. There were Arts/Crafts activities for children and adults of all ages but Book Bingo was everyone's favorite! Other activites included: jumping room (another favorite), free balloons, face painting, story time and lots of food and BOOKS! 
 
Students had an opportunity to visit the Book Fair with their class during the week.
 
We raised almost $3,000 in book sales this year. With a total of almost $7,000 raised in book sales these past two years. We've put approximately 1,363 books into kids' hands the last two years. Wow, that's exciting!
 
Thank you to all the parents, staff and students that helped!! Get ready for Book Fair 2010!
