Hello Greenwood families and friends,
What’s happened the last few years in October??? That’s right!! The SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR! And it starts tomorrow morning!! Your students will have the opportunity to shop during their scheduled Media time as well as before and after school. Family and friends are welcome to shop Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri mornings 7:30-8am and in the afternoons 2:30-3:30pm. Because of late start, Wednesday shopping will be 8:30-9am.
Don’t forget about our family reading night on Wednesday Oct 16! Our 5th grade Ambassadors will be serving pizza from 5:30-6:30pm. There will be some fun reading activities for the family from 6-7pm. Make sure to stop by the Book Fair that night, too, which closes at 7:30pm.
If you haven’t had time yet, please take a few minutes tonight to sign up for e-Wallet-it’s a great way for students to purchase from the fair. You can also send your student’s e-Wallet link to family and friends and they too can add to your student’s account. I am looking forward to another great week!
- Mrs. Wilcox
