HES Media Center

BREAKFAST BLIZZARD Tuesday, Nov. 13 7:45am-8:45am	POLAR PJ FAMILY NIGHT! Thursday, Nov. 15 5:00pm-8:00pm

In honor of our theme, "Book Fair Blizzard", we will have many fun activities planned for book fair week, including a 'transformation' of HES's media center into our very own 'Reading Winter Wonderland'! Children have been invited to participate in helping decorate for the fair, and will again get to visit the book fair during their regularly scheduled class time. We may even send a few books on a 'journey' around the world through a special Scholastic Book Fair program called "Book Journey".
