The St. John’s 2008 Fall Book Fair: The 2008 fall book fair was a stellar success. Thank you to the students, parents, staff and teachers who participated. And a special thank you to the wonderful grandparents who took time to accompany their grandchildren to the book fair.
The book fair’s profit this year set a new record at $2,341.27. These proceeds will allow the library to continue to have an outstanding collection of media for the Saint John’s School Library. Rosemary Terry, Librarian
