SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR & ICE CREAM SOCIAL

Sept. 23–27: The Book Fair is next week!
In addition to book sales, we will also be holding a book drive benefitting Bernie's Book Bank.

Bernie's Book Bank sources, processes, and distributes quality new and gently used children's books to increase book ownership significantly among at-risk infants, toddlers, and school-age children throughout Chicagoland. Our goal is to collect 1,000 gently used children's books this year!
