THE BOOK FAIR WAS A SUCCESS!

The Book Fair was a HUGE success with over $11,700 in book sales! We want to give a big shout out to our amazing Book Fair Coordinators, Laura Veligor and Hilary Margitich, and to Mrs. T-K for their hard work. We were able to purchase HUNDREDS of new books for our library with the proceeds. THANK YOU, TIGERS!
