The Book Fair Team Thanks You!

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks for your participation in the Sacajawea Book Fair. With your help, we were able to surpass our goal and raise $1500 for our school. This will go a long way towards promoting literacy and making reading materials more easily accessible in our community.

Many thanks to all the volunteers at the book fair. We received many compliments and expressions of gratitude on your behalf. Your time and effort were critical to the success of this event. Thank you so much!
