Dear Families,
In Library class, we have been focusing on the proper care of library books. Students are now ready to begin borrowing! Before they can borrow a book, a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian must be returned to the library. These permission slips are being sent home this week. Please email or message Mrs. Finnegan if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Mrs. Finnegan
