Students will receive flyers about the books and view a preview video the week before the fair. The video will also introduce some of the authors including Tammi Sauer who wrote Nugget & Fang about a shark and a minnow, and Katherine Applegate, author of The One and Only Ivan.
Students will preview the fair on Monday and Tuesday during their library time. However, sales will only be made after school hours.

The Book Fair was a great success. Thank you to the many parents, grandparents, and others who purchased books for their students. We were able to add more than 50 books to our library collection and the preschool collection. In addition to books, we are able purchase from the Scholastic Resource Catalog. We recently purchased some science equipment for the preschool and primary grades. This equipment is made for easy use by little hands.
The Online book fair begins Wednesday, March 12 and will continue through April 1. Remember anything ordered online benefits the school library. All purchases will be delivered free to the school.

It is celebrated each year on or near March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. This year members of the High School National Honor Society were our guest readers. Seth, Eli, Jordan H, Joey, Whitney, Kat, Jenn, Nate, and Kolter shared books and activities related to Dr. Seuss books with the preschool and elementary students.
Little Hawks Book Bag program started in October 2012 with a goal to have all preschoolers be read 500 books by the time they start kindergarten. Book bags were purchased through a generous donation by Security First Bank. The books were labelled and bags filled by Ms. Bila and the National Honor Society.
The Pre School and Elementary students celebrated Read Across America a little differently this year. Rather than read Dr. Seuss books we read our way across America. Guest readers from Chadron State College, Kyle King, Josh Breske, Nate Ross, and Treston Decoud read four books from different states. California – The Squirrel and Mr. Muir – The story about a little girl who while growing up in the Yosemite Valley in the 1800s. She meets John Muir, an American naturalist and preserver of American wilderness. Oklahoma – The Jingle Dancer – The story of a girl who wants to jingle dance in the next powwow. She gets a row of jingles from an aunt, a cousin, a neighbor and her grandmother. With these rows of jingles she is able to make her dress sing at the powwow. Tennessee – Wilma Unlimited –The story of Wilma Rudolph, crippled by polio as a child, who went on to compete and win at the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Massechusettes – Make Way for Ducklings – The story of a pair of ducks looking for a place to raise their family. The story takes place in and around the Boston Public Gardens. A Google Lit trip accompanying the reading shows the actual locations in the Boston area. Thanks to staff and students, who helped keep things organized and moving smoothly.
Mr. Badje’s class just finished a project for the library. Five chalkboards now mark the five sections of the library collection. Thanks to Marshall, Brett and Mr. Badje.
The Book Fair is coming next month. Sales will begin on Monday, October 22, 2012 after school and continue throughout the week.
