Fall Book Fair!

Thanks so much for another successful book fair in partnership with the University Bookstore!  Sales over the three days were $6700.  That means we earned around $1400 worth of books for our own library.  We have already purchased $600 in new books that are on the shelf and ready for checkout.

I would like to extend my appreciation to our two book fair co-chairs, Laura Tiberio and June Lembo.  In addition, a special thanks to Debbie Whittington, Debby Bacharach, Leslie Braly, Michelle Jones, Margarita Durham, and Karl Law for helping with set-up and take down.  We couldn’t do it without you!

Over 5 weeks all DBE students, K-5, used PebbleGo to research the two candidates from the two major parties before submitting their votes online.  This collaborative venture with all our DBE classroom teachers was a huge success.  We saw 418 of our 427 students vote on Monday November 7, 2016.
