Library Update - October 2008

1.

The book fair is over and the final profit was $1404.00. That translates into $530 of Scholastic books or merchandise for our school library. Not bad. Not as good as last year, but not bad. Maybe the Spring will bring in more fundraising dollars to support our school library. Anyway - a good time was had by all and I saw some wonderful books being purchased by Bildersee students. I found some great reads too. Thanks to everyone who helped by purchasing items, helping run the fair or taking it down and boxing it up.

We are looking for the best of the best in spelling to enter our school-wide spelling bee. The top speller from each class will be eligible to compete for the title of Spelling Bee Champion and the opportunity to go on to the next level of competition for Brooklyn schools. Eventually, after all of the levels of competition (district, borough, city, state), there will be one student left standing as the best speller in America at the National Spelling Bee. Could it be you? Who knows? But you have to win here at Bildersee first.

The Fall book order has been sent in to the book vendor, but they have not yet arrived. Give them a few more weeks for delivery. As soon as they arrive (about 300 new books for our library), I will put a note of their arrival on this blog. So, keep checking my blog to see when the new books arrive.
Have a great day Bildersee. Happy Reading!

Ms. Overstreet...congrats on the profit made at the book fair...I am sure you will equip the library with wonderful and necessary material for ever-inquiring minds. Let's look forward to an even greater profit from spring's book fair. Again, congrats!
