"LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!"

                           SCHOLASTIC SPRING BOOK FAIR - First Week of March, 2009

     The spring book fair will have a "movie-making" theme during the week of March 2nd - 6th.  The Scholastic Book Fair will be open late two nights this spring to accomodate working parents.  Friday, March 6th, the PTO will be holding a Fiesta Night, and the book fair will be open as well!  Students and parents can stock up on good reading choices to take along on spring break!  All the latest picture and chapter books will be available for young and old alike.  And don't forget - no tax on book fair purchases!

                                                                              Yours in Reading,  Miss Yonally

FALL BOOK FAIR "SAFARI TREK" A SUCCESS!  THANK YOU!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THE PARENTS WHO SUPPORTED THE FALL 2008 SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR.  YOUR DONATIONS OF TIME AND MONEY ARE REALLY APPRECIATED!!  WE MADE OVER $2,000! 

PROCEEDS FROM THE FALL BOOK FAIR WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE NEW FOOTBALL TEAM BOOKS AND REQUESTED ITEMS BY STAFF AND STUDENTS.    SOME VIDEOS AND DAMAGED OR LOST BOOKS WILL BE REPLACED WITH BOOK FAIR PROCEEDS AS WELL. 

THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING VOLUNTEERS (without whom the fall book fair wouldn't have been possible!!):

Special thanks to Heather Berchtold, Carrie Carvolth and Cara Babcock for stepping forward to help set up and run the book fair.  Student volunteers from Mrs. Vanderham's fifth grade class helped set up the book fair (unloading boxes and boxes of books!!).  And volunteers from Mrs. Haynes' 8th grade art class helped box up everything at the end of the book fair.  You were awesome!!!!

Thanks to: Linda Wieland, Anna Johnson, Charee Buster, Grammy LaJuan, Allison Zapernick (you rock!!), Lisa Wheeler, Hailee Pierce, Gail Peak, Heidi Cullum, Linda Hicks, Buffy Smith, Tammy Alexander, Charla Hostetler, Joy Momeyer, Valerie Englin, Tammie Orth, Tammy Reid, Jennifer Hartenbower, Lane Palma, Valerie Curd, Tammy Ciammitti (and her well-behaved children!), Kim Livingston, Adina Paul, Michele Rich, and Julie Smith.  So many of these volunteers covered several shifts, since there were fewer volunteers.  Thank you so much for helping make the book fair a success!!

OPEN LIBRARY STARTED NOVEMBER 10th!

Students in Grades 3-8 are able to come to the Library/Media Center (LMC) on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. for research, quiet homework time and general use of the facility.  There is no charge to attend.  Open Library hours come from tax credit donations made possible through the generosity of Desert Mountain parents and staff members participating in the tax credit program provided to Arizona taxpayers.

Ms. Yonally, Teacher/Librarian, will be on hand to assist students with any individual needs.  Students can pick up forms for individual days at the LMC.  Forms are good for that day's visit only.  An activity bus will be available at 5:00 p.m. for bus riders.

If interested in your Grade 3-8 child participating, please return the attached release form, with your signature for the day requested.
