![]() Books are a lot of fun. This year's annual book fair runs from August 25 through August 29 and is being held in the media center. Every year there is a great selection of books for all ages. The children will have a chance to browse and create a "wish list" to take home. You can either send your child in with the money or parents can come in a browse with their child.
