Tuesday, May 21st will be an exciting day for 4th graders!

They will be visiting Riverside Intermediate School to tour the building with their peers. They will arrive at 9:30 by bus and depart back to their elementary school by 11:00.

We’re excited to invite you to join us in making our school library an even more vibrant and inspiring place for our students. Books are not just words on pages; they are gateways to imagination, knowledge, and endless adventures. To achieve this, we’re launching our “Donate a Book” program. Here’s how it works:

· You can donate a book in honor of your child’s birthday, a special milestone, or simply to contribute to our library’s growth.

· The publisher will add a beautiful bookplate with your personalized message and send the book directly to our library, ready for eager young readers to enjoy.

· Visit our library donation page to choose a book from our book list. https://www.btsb.com/sosl/newbrittonelementary2

The menu for the last 7 days of school will be Chef's Choice, which means we are using up the available items. More specifics about the menu options will be shared as they become available.
