Book Fair
A big thank you to all the volunteers who worked so hard to set up our Spring Book Fair. It was a huge success. We sold 1,121 books and surpassed our sales goal. We appreciate all the parents and students who made that happen. More than anything, thank you for helping us encourage children to read!
Discovering Quality Literature
Students are encouraged to write a book and submit it to their teachers by May 2nd for judging. Teachers will choose the 2 best books of their class to be judged by our Literacy Team. The Literacy Team will choose 2 books per grade level to be taken to the district competition called, Discovering Quality Literature. Teachers will have a list and description of the different genres. Books will be judged at the district by teachers from different areas. Our school winners will receive a special celebration here at Croton and share their books during Media activity time.
