’Twas the night before the book fair, and all through the hall,
Not a story was stirring, from big ones to small.
The bookmarks were nestled all snug in their places,
Ready for laughter on young readers’ faces! 📚✨

The displays are set up and the shelves are packed tight,
Full of magic and wonder and future delight!
From adventures and mysteries to heartwarming tales,
We’re ready to welcome our shoppers to sales! 🌟

But before you start browsing each beautiful page,
Take a look at the whiteboard that’s set on our ‘stage!’
The teachers have listed the books they’d love best,
To fill up their classrooms and help every guest. 📝❤️

So get ready for reading and come take a look,
Every reader is bound to find just the right book! 📖🎉

Thank you to Kerrie, Kylie, and the girls for greeting our students today! They came dressed for the season. Aside from the high fives, the rainbow was catching everyone’s attention this morning. Thank you again for taking time out of your day to greet our Chargers! 🧡🎃💙⚡️💛

Thank you to the Library Foundation for greeting our Chargers last Friday! Lots of familiar faces for our students. It might have been a gloomy morning, but the entryway was full of smiles and high fives. Thank you for helping our Chargers start their day off on the right foot! 💙⚡️💛
