 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 the Square One Chapters-Indigo location. What a great time to get a book for your Mom for Mother's Day ... or to pick up some summer reading! If you cannot go during the evening, if you shop during the day and identify yourself as wanting your purchase to go toward the Cawthra Park fundraiser, we'll still get 15% of your total bill. All profits raised will be used to support literacy at Cawthra Park S.S.
