My best wishes to all of you with hopes the world events will not take too great a toll on any of you. We are gearing up for our fall Scholastic Book Fair, to be held on October 9-17 in the library. Next week we will be sending home a flyer detailing some of the great books which will be featured. We are also participating in Scholastic's Reading Jamboree. Next week, booklets will go home with each child, explaining the ways you may participate.
Children simply fill in the booklet with names and addresses of friends and relatives.
Scholastic does a one-time mailing to them, offering magazines at substantial savings. There is no obligation to make a purchase. Exact details of the program will go home with the booklets next week. I'm Karen Anolik and am currently the essential skills teacher at The Shutesbury Elementary School. I was a classroom teacher here at the school for 12 years before taking a maternity leave in 1998 and returning the following year in this new role.
