Book Fair is Coming!

We are building excitement with WMS staff and students. Our Make Reading a Hobbit Scholastic Book Fair is coming next week!

Our Student Crew has been working to promote and decorate the fair. Mr. Corbitt is lending his theatre expertise to help us stage a "shire" setting and work with his select students to participate in our Reader's Theatre on March 19th.

Here are some snapshots from yesterday's set building crew:

The PTA will have a general meeting before the event, 6:00-6:30PM. Parents are encouraged to join in.

Our family event will begin at 6:30PM with introductions and performances from The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Our Family Literacy Event will entertainment, refreshments and door prizes. We're hoping the whole community comes to participate in the event!

See information, including class schedules, volunteer options and some great book selections to be offered at this year's book fair here.

Stay tuned to watch progress as we complete the shire before opening day next Friday.
