BOOK SWAP

Our book swap last year was very successful.  As a result we will be holding it each term.  This term it will be in the last week.  Bring your old books to Room 13 where they will be recorded.  You will be given tokens to “spend” at the book swap.

We need chapter books as well as picture books so that the seniors have books to swap.
