K-2 Author/Illustrator visit coming up March 23rd
On Thursday March 23rd local author/illustrator Ellie Peterson will be presenting to all K-2 classrooms in three separate presentations in the library. We are lucky enough (thank you BSF!) to have Ellie two years in a row at our school.
Ellie often specializes in books that focus on science, including the topics of monarch butterflies, honeybees, our seasons and our planet earth. Some students will also experience an “Eat With Ellie” lunch in the library where they can find out more about what it’s really like to work as an author/illustrator and ask more in-depth questions. Want to know more? Visit her website: https://www.elliepetersonart.com/
*Look for a paper coming home next week if you would like to preorder one of her books to have signed and personalized for your student.
Thank you for supporting our Spring Scholastic Book Fair
Way to go Chargers!
You help raise $2,600 in books for the library and $1,700 in cash for future purchases. The Scholastic Bookfair is valued part of making our library the best if can be for our students right here at Cherry Crest. Thanks to all of our volunteers and to the parents who supported the sale.
We look forward to doing it again next year.
