Bookaneer Book Fair - where Books are the Treasure!

Last night we had a blast following a treasure hunt and finding out our pirate names! Ms. Decker's name was the best- Dead Man Sparrow. 

All treasure hunters who completed the challenge earned a little Hershey-flavored Treasure, but also were entered into a drawing for a $10 gift certificate- the winner was Evie in 3rd grade. Congratulations, Evie!

Book Fair Carnival Family Event!

The Book Fair Carnival Family Event last night was a blast! We had lots of fun Carnival acts including Madame Zora the Fortune Teller (Mrs. Perkins), Mrs. Talley the Amazing Acrobat, Soccer Tricks with Ms. Moore, the World Famous Face Painting Troupe (Mrs. Doolittle, Dr. Stallworth, Ms. Sayaovong, Mrs. Nixon, and Mrs. Peyton), the Stupendous Wandering Jugglers (Ms. Potral, Mrs. Hermansen and Ms. Mhatey), Mrs. Mills who can guess your weight and age or will give you a prize, Sohlin's lovely-lashed mom and grandma making awesome balloon animals (thanks Kimra!) Templeton and Rachel Albin as the dog&human singing&dancing act, and free popcorn from our lovely PTA moms Mrs. James, Mrs. Katzman and Mrs. McNair.

Thanks to all who helped- especially Mrs. Bibb, Mr. Fournier and Carolyn for helping out behind the cash register! I think the kids had an awesome time and it really helped build community. We also raised some money for the Forest North Library to buy new books, and in this time of budget crisis, it was greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone!

Love,
Mrs. Fournier
