Cub families-We are still without a freezer for ice cream this week, so there will be no ice cream sales tomorrow September 18th. We will share updates next week. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again.
Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.
Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Book Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
Happy Reading!
