Dear Parents and Families:

Our Winter Book Fair will be a wonderful event for our students. Our fair will run from Monday December 9th-Friday December 13th with your child being able to independently shop during their scheduled library time that week.

We are also offering all students and their special guests a chance to shop The Book Fair together during COOKIES WITH SANTA!!!! Attached you will find a catalog of items that could be at our fair. This is just a representation of things that can be here- a certain title you see in this catalog may not actually be available for purchase. There will also be all sorts of titles here that are not in this catalog. We have books for every interest priced in every price range. Shopping is easy and we will have books to fit every budget. If there is a particular title you are looking for, reach out to me via email at mfraze@hobart.k12.in.us or send in a note with your child so we can try to get it for them. You can sign up for contactless payment options via card called the Scholastic E-Wallet at Book Fair Homepage, send in a check made out to the ELC (with a budget of course!) or cash. No matter if you have a large budget for your child, or all you are able to afford is some quarters in a zippy bag- I PROMISE I will find your child a book they will LOVE. I want everyone to be able to enjoy the excitement of shopping The Fair.

~Ms. Fraze

The ELC received a special delivery from the North Pole this week! Georgina & Earle, our mischievous elves, are ready to spread holiday cheer (and maybe a little trouble) around here! They are here and full of shenanigans counting down every day until Winter Break!

With all the holiday food shopping we are all doing... don't forget to be saving and sending in all those Stracks receipts! We can't wait to see which class wins the contest this month! Miss Kelly and Mrs. Cohen's class each won a tiny Beanie Baby last month... who will win what next?!? We can't wait to find out!

Did you know that you as parents can nominate a staff member to be recognized as someone who is Being Excellent On Purpose? Dr. Buffington LOVES to know about and celebrate the positive!

If your child isn't feeling well, please keep him or her at home. You must report the absence IN SKYWARD before 10:00AM. There is no need to call the school to let us know. If there are any questions about the absence, we will reach out to you.

Brickies from the Start needs your help! We are a non-profit, self funded program that relies on donations to provide services like developmental screenings, parent support and Community Playroom to Brickie families. During our Month of Giving, you can create a team and collect donations to win a prize. Sign up here: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/monthofgiving/

The School City of Hobart Building Brickies' goal is to strengthen families by empowering parents as their child’s first and best teachers. Every day, we advocate for families so every child-in every neighborhood-can thrive.
