October's Library Challenge
Who Would Win....
Start collecting your change now!
Each week in October there will be a Who Would Win.... question.
Students can vote, using that $$$, to select a teacher who would win.
Each week the "winning teacher", with the most money, will earn a PIE IN THE FACE at our monthly assembly.
This is a fundraiser that goes 100% back to kids. All money raised will be used to help as many students as possible buy a book at our upcoming fall/winter book fair.
Fun time for a good cause :)
