Thank you! Muchas gracias! Merci beaucoup! Shukriya! Xie xie! Arigato! Hvala! No matter how you say it...

Thank you so much to all the parents who volunteered at the Scholastic Book Fair, and all the parents who made donations to the school library!  Your contributions really did wonders for our Battle of the Books team collection, and gives some of our students who may not be able to afford books right now (and ALL of our voracious Stone Bookworms!) the chance to check out the more popular titles in the school library.  The waiting list for Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid: the Third Wheel and Rick Riordan's Mark of Athena is already growing as long as my arm! Thanks also to the many families who have been so generously donating their used books to the library, we have really been able to build our series collections this way (and if it's something we can't use in the school library, we pass it along).   Your efforts and donations are so truly and deeply appreciated by myself and also the whole school community.  I'll say it again:  thank you!!!

Some of you have been asking about the library wish list; for now, you can view it here.
