Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered and came out for Game Night on Friday! We had a great turnout and lots of fun playing all the Gamewright games, and we raised over $700 for the school! Thanks to everyone who purchased games for the teacher wish lists, as well; the eight teachers who submitted wish lists will all be getting at least two new games for their classrooms. We look forward to doing this again next year! 🙂
Mark your calendars for everyone’s favorite science night on Thursday, March 28th, at 5pm!
Sign up your child and/or volunteer here: https://goo.gl/forms/iiggCgosqn2S6MaT2
Students at all levels are invited to present a science project to family, friends, and teachers. Past projects have included investigations/experiments (e.g. How fast do apples rot?, What do dogs remember?), models/demonstrations (e.g. the Solar System, lemon battery), research reports (e.g. Marie Curie, Snails), and collections (e.g. Slime).

Make sure to come to the library in your costume to have your photo taken in our Enchanted Forest, and you’ll be entered in a raffle to win a free book of your choice from the book fair! Who will you be? (Click here for some ideas and suggestions!) Who will the librarian be? Come by the book fair to find out!
And then join us in pajamas on Thursday evening for the Books and Cookies Pajama Party — with music, fun activities, pizza for sale, teacher wish lists, free cocoa and cookies in the cafeteria, and lots and lots of wonderful books!
Thank you so much to everyone who has signed up to volunteer (and to those who came and helped on Friday!). We could still use a few volunteers to help us set up for the Thursday event, to run the cocoa/cookies table — and to bring cookies! (Cookies can be dropped off in the main office or the library anytime on Wednesday or Thursday!) Please click here to sign up!
If you can’t make it to the fair in person, check out the online fair, where you can find an even wider selection of books and several teachers’ wish lists!

The Lincoln-Eliot Book Fair will be arriving in our library this Friday, but even before it arrives, you can start buying books, checking out teacher wish lists, and browsing in our online fair, which is open now through December 9th!
Orders placed through the online fair are scheduled to arrive at the school before the holiday break, and 50% of each purchase goes to support our school library!
Search for your teacher’s wish list here (and if they don’t have one yet, keep checking back in — or come to the fair to choose from their wish list baskets!). Books for the classroom library (and the school library!) make wonderful holiday gifts for our teachers and librarians!
And please feel free to share the online fair with any faraway friends and family who might like to send books as presents and support our school at the same time. 🙂
Thank you so much, and happy reading!
