Coming soon to a Thursday Folder near you…..EPI School Supply Kit Order Forms for the 2013-2014 school year! The PTO will be holding a school supply sale again this year.

Book Fair Thank You
We had a very successful Spring Book Fair at Mountain View! Thank you to all the families that came out, and to all of the wonderful volunteers who made it happen. We could not have a book fair each year without our volunteer help! The Mountain View Library now has over $3,500 in additional funds to spend on new books. Congratulations to Ms. DePas and her class, they were the winners of the All For Books Change Drive and will soon enjoy their winning Popsicle party!

Northeast Book Fair – Nov 9th and Nov 12-15th

Reading is the most important skill you can teach a child. Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can influence the most.
We invite you to visit Northeast Elementary’s Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives.
Our Scholastic Book Fair theme – All-Star Book Fair: Every Reader Is a Star! – is part of an exciting reading event that brings to school a wonderful selection of fun, engaging, and affordable books kids want to read. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they’ll get.
Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they’re young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent’s direct involvement in his/her child’s education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair.
The book fair will be open Friday, November 9th 8:00am to 4:30pm, 6:30pm to 8:30pm (during movie night). Monday, November 12th- Thursday, November 15th 8:00am-4:30pm.
Hope to see you there!
