Holiday Boxes Distributed

To All Grade Levels

   The October holiday boxes are ready and are being distributed to one person at each grade level. This is one way the library tries to ensure that seasonal materials are shared equally.  It is also hoped that this will be a convenience to  the staff. If you want to use any of the materials, get them from the person who has them for your grade level.  Holiday materials for October have been distributed to these rooms:

     Kindergarten- Kozak; First Grade-  1A; Second Grade- 2A; Third Grade- 3A;Fourth Grade- 4A; Fifth Grade- 5A
