Important message for students and parents!

Could you please check around your homes to see if any school library books and/or classroom library books are hiding there? It is very expensive to maintain a library of popular novels for students to read. Most of those from my classroom are my own personal purchases. I would very much appreciate it if they could be returned. Thank you and have a great summer!
