Please double-­‐check your time on the sign up link below, as I will be using this for my schedule for both evenings. If you have returned your Books & Breakfast paper and requested a book, we will be sending them home early this week. These are school copies, but your child can read them at home as long as they would like up to the B&B date. They should bring them the morning of the 29th to use while they talk to their friends about it. Please let me know if you have any questions and have a great week!
