March 9th-13th

We invite you to come visit our Book Fair. Mrs. Sandi is looking for parent volunteers to help run the fair. If you are interested in helping please call her at 313-827-6750. We need help when the students come to browse books and on the two shopping days. There is a morning and afternoon shift for each day. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more.

School store will be open on Friday, March 6

Items are priced $0.50-$2.00 each
