MRS. BINKER'S BOOK BEAT

Our Library is a very busy place!

General Mills Boxtops Contest

Our General Mills 'Boxtops For Education' homeroom contest is over!
Homeroom 5B (Mrs. Eanest) collected 1,437 Boxtops!! Because of their success, they have earned a pizza luncheon. To date this year, we have collected over $2,000.00 worth of Boxtops!!! All proceeds go to purchasing new books for our library, so please keep saving your Boxtops over the summer too.

Our spring Book fair was a huge success!!! In fact, it was the most successful spring sale we have ever had at St. Joseph School. We netted $1,887.03 in cash and $1,000.00 in free books for the library. We also made a donation of $160.00 to the "One For Books' program.

Preschool Storytime
Our last story time for this school year will be on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 1:45-2:30. Our theme is a BIG surprise! Hope to see all our preschoolers there.
