Wow!

Meadow Lane families deserve a huge THANK YOU for supporting our library by shopping at the Scholastic Book Fair. We made $2,233.21 in profit! This money will be used to buy more books (including ebooks) for our library collection. We couldn’t have done it without parents and family members who were willing to give of their time to work at the Book Fair. Thank you also to our school secretary, Debbie Roth, and Mr. Lowe for their continued help. Thank you so much for helping our Meadow Lane Library.

Those who volunteered at the Book Fair this year are: Bobbi Brunner, chairperson and huge help; Diane Rothen; Diana McCoy; Christina Benjes; Heather Little; Kay Leigh; Lori Brennan; Lynzee Jeter; Amanda Toler; Allison Clark; Kimberly Holton; Ryan Helling; Stephanie Luebbering; Kiersten Williams.

Again, thank you!
Read on, Mustangs!
