DEAR
= Drop Everything and Read
For the first 15 minutes of every day, everyone in the school
will read. Ah! ... sweet! So bring along the book
you happen to be reading that week and enjoy! Looking for a book?
.. then start your day with an early visit (before homeroom!)
to the library to sign out a book or pick up a newspaper.
We hope to have extra newspapers available that week!
May
Day Chapters Fundraiser at the Square
One location. On Wed. May 1st from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.,
Cawthra will get 15% of the profits from all booksales. Wow!!!
Cawthra musicians will be on hand playing music to browse by.
We are handing out our customized bookmarks, created by
Mr. Ball, the Head of Visual Arts, and featuring teachers' reviews
of books they recommend. There will be a surprise visit
from an author as well. Please plan a May 1st shopping trip to
