2. Book Bonanza: As a result of generous donations from PTSA, the community, and student families, this free event allows all K-8 students to select books to keep! Classes will browse the HUGE selection of books June 9-13 during class library times, lunch recesses, and before and after school. Friday afternoon we will encourage students to revisit the Bonanza and select more books to ensure families have enough to read all summer! There is an opportunity to help with setup and cleanup for this event
