Barnes & Noble Book Fair
Thank you all who participated in the Barnes & Noble Bookfair. We had such a wonderful time listening to the singing, playing the scavenger hunt and the teacher's especially enjoyed receiving so many books for their classes.
The randomly selected winners of the scavenger hunt were Joseph Wetter, Maddy Sheppard and Aileen Huang.
Thank you to Mrs Spradlin for preparing our students for their performances, and a special thank you to Mrs. Hackman for coordinating such a fun evening
A Special Note from Tara Hackman:
BSS Families,
It was wonderful to see so many of you at our recent Barnes & Noble Book Fair. Your support is appreciated! Our teachers each received many books from their Wish Lists and were excited to add the new additions to their classrooms.
Chairing the Barnes & Noble Book Fair is a great way to get involved and volunteer for our school. If you have questions about Chairing this event for the 2019-2020 school year, feel free to reach out with questions!
