If you are interested in a flexible work schedule with school hours and holidays, this is the job for you! Book Fair Thank You! A HUGE thank you goes out to all of your support of the Fall "All Star" Book Fair! We earned over $4,000 to add books to the PFE Library! Thank you for your donations to the "All for Books" program. We collected $342! Scholastic will match these funds to donate books to charities. Kindergarten was our grade level winner and representatives from each class came to choose books to add to the library. Kindergarten will be the first grade level to get to check these out once they are processed and added to the library catalog. The book fair wouldn't be possible without the help of some very amazing volunteers.
