Special Events
In addition to the regular classroom visits, DK and K parents and guardians are invited to attend the DK/K Book Spree morning visit on Monday, April 18th, from 8:15 am-8:40 am. This will be an opportunity to select books with your child and also mix and mingle with other DK and K parents.
Also, in addition to the regular classroom visits, every other grade will have a "Special Lunch Day" visit. (As a precautionary health measure, Book Spree is not open to kids during lunch other than on these scheduled Special Lunch Visit Days.) A parent or guardian is invited to accompany their child during the lunch period to visit the Book Spree and select new favorite titles during Special Lunch Visit Days! The Special Lunch Visit schedule is:
