Fun Fair

Reading Day

Our longstanding grade 6 tradition is to host a reading day two or three times every year. This is a perfect time to get comfortable with a good book in your own classroom. We are also using this day to raise funds for our Honduran sponsor child. So one dollar lets you wear pajamas and slippers and another dollar gets you a cup of hot chocolate. Don't forget to bring your own books and mug. The date for this is Thursday, November 26, 2009.
