We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Thank you to the many families who joined us for the Hubbard Woods Book Fair. We sold a record amount of books and all funds raised will be used to improve our Resource Center!!

We'd also like to thank the families who cleared their shelves and donated books to Andrea's Angels. Thank you for your generosity! Congratulations to Ms. Rosinski's 3rd Grade class who donated the most amount of books and will enjoy a special movie with Ms. Delzell in the coming weeks!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the Candy Cane Hunt & Hot Cocoa event on December 13 and the Winter Sing on December 20.

We have a busy month ahead!

The Hubbard Woods Book Fair is Open Online!

Thank you to all who visited and purchased books at our Book Fair! With your support, we surpassed previous years' sales! Everything raised will go directly back into improving the Resource Center!! Rah rah for Hubbard Woods!

260,000 bread tags = 200 lbs of plastic = 1 basic wheelchair
