What books would you buy with $2,000?

Mrs. Yamasheve received $2,000 from Mary Munford PTA to buy new books for the library. Specifically, non-fiction books

She needs your suggestions.

In the comment section below, type the title (and author) of non-fiction books your child enjoys to read. Or a topic that interests your child. Most likely, other children will find it interesting as well.

Teachers: you should participate as well. Do you have a favorite non-fiction book to supplement your classwork? Is there a topic you teach that is not well-represented in the library's collection?

This is your chance to expand Mary Munford's library collection. Please share your recommendations.
And thank you to Mary Munford PTA for its generous donations.

Did your child win free Pizza?

For 16 weeks, Ms. Yamashev tracks the classes who return their library books, behave appropriately and do a good job during library time. The students and teachers take this contest very seriously. The younger grades win a trip to the Treasure Chest. The older graders compete for a Pizza Party!

This year's first winners are....
Mrs. Bennett class
Mrs. Bracken class

Mrs. Bennett's class earned a whopping 356 library points.
Ms. Schwartz's class was only 8 points behind. Mrs. Dunn's class scored a close 346 points.

Mrs. Bracken's class received seven checkmarks for their good behavior.

Help your child, help his/her's class. Make sure your child returns or renews library books each week. Remind them why library is an important part of the school week.

Stay tune for the winner's of the next contest.
