Honor your child's birthday with the gift of a new book for our library collection. Any new, age appropriate books are welcome! Each book will receive a label showing the name of the donor and year of it was given. Any students who contributes a Birthday Book this year will be invited to celebrate at a Birthday Book Party in June.

There are "Wish Lists" on Amazon.com (see links below) so you can more easily find books: see detailed information and order them on the site if you wish. It is fine to choose a title and purchase it from your local book store. Paperback copies are fine for most titles. Feel free to make the donation an event and come in with your student to give me the book!

The Amazing Reading Challenge (ARC) is a reading contest available for 4th and 5th grade students.  In the fall, students will learn more about this fun reading opportunity.  For now, they can start reading the books to prepare if they would like.  Below is this year's great selection of ARC books.
