Next week we will begin a book drive to help build our classroom libraries! When you turn in a book to the office, you will receive a ticket for a drawing. At the end of each day, the office will pull 5 names to pick a prize. Prizes include: ice cream pass, brag tags, etc. If your name is not drawn that day, your ticket will remain in the bucket.
