Lost & Found

Our Lost & Found is overflowing! Sweaters, Coats, Hats, Water Bottles, Lunch Boxes, Books, etc. Please swing by the next time you are in our building and take a look. Always label your children(s) items so that they can be returned to them if found. Unclaimed items will be donated during the winter break.

Library Spotlight

Library Volunteers Needed!

Mrs. Vandersande is looking for a weekly volunteer at 9:15 on Wednesdays. Please email her at dmvandersand@fcps.edu if you are interested!

The library is also desperate for shelving volunteers on a drop-in basis! Reach out to Debby Vandersande at dmvandersand@fcps.edu to get started.

Book Bingo

All students are invited to join the fun with Book Bingo! Students can count any books that they read independently or books that are read to them! This is a great chance to read with your students and establish strong reading habits.

Book Bingo challenges are monthly, and November Book Bingo starts now! View the November Book Bingo Board here.

Teamwork in action! Students, staff, and families coming together to give our garden a fresh start.
