All 3rd-grade classes compete with over 300 elementary schools to see who can log the MOST READING MINUTES.

MRS. MONTERO'S CLASS IS IN THE LEAD WITH 36,320 MINUTES!!!! KEEP READING!

We will find out if we made it to the playoffs soon.

CAUGHT READING

We've caught quite a few Falcons reading during choice time. When students are caught reading, they get a ticket with their name on it. Every Wednesday, I pick one ticket from the jar on the announcements, and that student gets to choose from some fun library swag.

Here is this week's winner, Maeli Bassuk, 4th grade.

Please be careful not to leave any books while you travel over the holiday break.

LOST OR DAMAGED BOOKS:

If your child damages a book, please have them bring it to me. I can fix a lot of things. Make sure they bring the damaged book into the library and show it to me, and we can figure out what to do about it. I emphasize to the students that I will never be mad at them over a book.

· If a book is lost, you have some options

· You can pay the replacement cost. I will send home an overdue notice with the amount on it.

§ We take cash- try to have the exact amount as I don't often have change.

§ We take checks made out to Fabra Elementary.

§ You can also pay using a credit card on RevTrak which you can find on our website.

· You can purchase a replacement that is used as long as it is a HARD COVER and in good or better shape.

BOOK CHECKOUT- WE WILL CONTINUE OUR REGULAR SCHEDULE FOR BOOK CHECKOUT NEXT WEEK!

Boerne ISD will launch a redesigned website in January 2025. This new digital experience is visually captivating, user-friendly, and intuitive, better reflecting our community, campus offerings, and improving navigation for students, families, and faculty. More details coming soon!

Spend the day at Fabra!

Falcon fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures....Would you like to volunteer for at least one day each year? During the day, Falcon Fathers may read to a classroom, play at recess, help out in P.E, eat lunch with students and any other assigned activities where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well. On the day of their participation, Falcon Fathers are given a brief review of their involvement and get to wear an official Falcon Father t-shirt.

Please limit your initial sign-up to only ONE date, and additionally sign-up for the "Waitlist" slot if you would like to be notified of last minute openings that would allow you to participate again.
