The school also gains credit dollars as rewards for purchases made by students and we use this money to buy books for the Library and Classroom Libraries. In 2010 these rewards totalled $945.00. I would like to thank those parents who supported Book Club last year and look forward to your continued support and hope you enjoy sharing your new books with your children.
