Not since 2010 has our school organized and operated a Scholastic Book Fair. This past week, we did. The 3rd grade teachers organized the week long fair and 'excited' doesn't even begin to capture the feelings of students, parents, community members, staff, and faculty alike!!!!!!!!
All day long, all week long, and during conferences, there was a steady stream of parents, students, and staff!
"Magical" is the word one 4th grade teacher described the literary ambiance; the sights and relaxing holiday music playing in the background!
"Relaxing" is another adjective a teacher used to sum up her thoughts as she passed through.
Many others reminisced and took small groups of teachers congregating near the copy machine back to childhood days, to book fairs and other ELEMENTARY school activities "back then".
School was a place we didn't dread coming to! We remember working hard. We remember drills and worksheets. We remember phonics. We remember morning and afternoon recess and recess at lunch. We remember gym, music, and art. We remember white 'daisy dukes' gym shorts for the guys and the blue gym jumpers for the girls.
We remember book fairs.
