Overdue Books:
All students and faculty are asked to return overdue books to the library before the winter break commences.
Scholastic Book Club Orders:
We are waiting for our books to arrive. They were ordered on Dec 1st and should arrive shortly. They will be delivered to your classroom.
Book Donations:
We extend a huge thank you to parent and school volunteer, Mrs Ilonka Gkotzaridis for her very generous donation of beautiful French books for all ages. We also thank Kendra Douglas, our visiting Art student teacher, for leaving us with two beautifully illustrated books about Ohio.
- Panoramic Ohio: Photographs by Thomas R. Schiff. Cincinnati Art Museum.
- Lined up for Yesterday: Ogden Nash. Illustrated by C.F. Payne. (A beautifully illustrated book celebrating baseball’s formative years.)
Kendra would like teachers and students from Ohio to write their own impressions under photographs in the books.
