Hello Gibbs Families-
This is Ms Gibson with a reminder that next week is our Fall Book Fair week(9/9/24-9/13/24). We are looking for volunteers for the book fair this time...if you can help you can sign up here- http://evite.me/Hgdug2BBas or email Ms Gibson at lori.gibson@lrsd.org. We can use help for a few mins before or after school but we really could use lots of volunteers for Friday, September 13th during Grandparents Lunch times :)
Also if you would like to set up your student's ewallet before they come to the book fair with their class you can do that on this page https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/gibbsmagnet.
Thank you for supporting the library and readers at Gibbs!
Ms Gibson
