Stop by the library to take a guess at the number of Skittles in the jar! The last day to guess will be Friday, March 13th. The winner will be announced Monday, March 16th and will have their choice of a new book, poster and a sweet treat!

1 guess per person please

From March 1st - 19th students can take part in a duck hunt in the library. While you search for new books to read, keep a lookout for the hidden ducks. If you find one, bring it to Mrs. Gee to pick out a treat. Good Luck, they are very small and can hide almost anywhere!

HINT: You do not have to move anything to find them. They will be hiding in plain sight!

Are you a fan of basketball? 🏀 Keep an eye out this month for the official March Madness bracket. Fill it in and drop it off with Mrs. Gee so she can make a copy of your completed bracket by Tuesday, March 17th.

The person with the most points at the end will receive a prize! (one point for every correct team) Good Luck everyone!

Results for how our Elementary, Middle and High School teams placed among other students in Wisconsin will be released this month. Results will be posted on the WEMTA Battle of the Books website: https://sites.google.com/wemta.org/battle/home

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows you to

shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds. When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the FairTM. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.

Do you need volunteer hours? High School Students can sign up in the Library Media Center to volunteer during their Study Hall or Fox Time.
