Reading Rocks!

Well, the book fair is over... the Whiteside library is back to normal except for the $401 worth of new books from Scholastic!  Our goal was $3500 and we sold over $4000!  That means the PAC raised $1100 plus $401 worth of beautiful books for our library. The book fair gave away over $100 worth of prizes during the fair.  We appreciate the parents who participated in the classroom "wish list" program.

A big thanks to the ENTIRE Whiteside staff, students and parents!

 Last but not the least, a very HUGE thank you to all the parents who volunteered. Without your help and support, we won't be able to run the book fair.

Special Guest and Book Fair

What a fun morning we had today.   We had breakfast club first thing in the morning.  Bagels, juice, crackers and hot chocolate were in the menu.  Geronimo Stilton visited Whiteside!  He did an amazing job welcoming everyone to our school this morning.  Lots of smiles and fun guessing who is wearing Geronimo today.  Our book fair starts next week and our goal is $3500!  If we make the $3000 mark, maybe we can call Geronimo for another visit.

This was the sight that welcome most of our students and families this morning!

Mr. Stilton giving a thumbs up!

Special thanks to Scholastic Canada for lending Geronimo to us for the book fair. And Mr. David for being a good sport!
