BOGO Book Fair!

It's time for NHCS's Spring Book Fair - and just like last year, it's Buy One - Get One Free! The Book Fair will be open next Wednesday through Friday. Your teacher will give you more information on Friday. But for now, click here to see the hours it will be open. See you at the Book Fair!

Fall Book Fair!

Click here for the link to the Scholastic Book Fair website for NHCS! Come and visit the Fair at school on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday this week (check hours on the page) or shop online for the next two weeks to get great books and to support our school! Thank you!!

The Book Fair Is Coming!

Our Spring Book Fair will be arriving at our school very soon! It will be set up in the Multipurpose Room from May 9th to May 11th. On that first day, the Book Fair will be open after school and again for the PTO "Breakfast for Dinner" event in the evening. Thursday and Friday there will also be time to buy books. 


I'm saving the best news for last: this is a Buy-One-Get-One-Free Book Fair. Buy two items, pay for the most expensive one and get the other for free! Think of all the books you could buy to read this summer!

Happy New Year!

Just like a kid, I am always so excited to be back in school! It's wonderful to see the children again, to see how they've grown and changed and to hear about their summer adventures - and their summer reading!

It was a short week but a busy one in our first ICT classes. Grades 2-5 have been creating strong passwords for their new accounts, that is, passwords that are easy to remember yet difficult to figure out. Ask your student how he or she will remember the new password they're creating.

When you come to Open House on Thursday night, swing by the Library Media Center to see some of the new materials we have. And don't forget to visit the Scholastic Book Fair - click here for a preview!

Thank You!

The Buy-One Get-One Free Book Fair held last week was a huge success! We exceeded our total sales over last year's Spring fair by $500 and we earned $150 in free books for the Library Media Center. But the most important aspect of the Book Fair sales is this: you put purchased and free books in the hands of your children for their summer reading pleasure. Good for you!!

Special thanks to Miss Holloran, Mr. Peringer, and Mrs. Meegan for helping set-up the Fair on Tuesday afternoon. Thanks also to Mrs. Simard who helped out during the Cinco de Mayo dinner Thursday night and who got the Fair started on Friday morning, as well as to Mrs. Blier who ran the final sales period when I was not in the building.

I've just finished packing everything up and was pleased to look at receipts and see some of the book choices that your children made. Lots of good reading will be happening in these next months thanks to your support in making this Book Fair a success.

The Book Fair is Coming!

The Scholastic Book Fair is on its way to NHCS and is due to arrive this Tuesday! Since I'm not in New Hampton on Tuesdays, Mrs. McDonald has volunteered to help set it up so we are ready for Preview Day on Wednesday! Sales will commence Thursday morning and continue during the day and after school until 3pm. The Book Fair will reopen around 5:30pm, just in time for the Potluck Supper and Open House! Friday morning will be the  last opportunity to buy books, with volunteers coming around to classrooms to help last minute shoppers.
See you at the Book Fair!
