Our Barnes & Noble Bookfair was FANTABULOUS! We all had such a great time on Saturday and I was so happy to see so many of our students, families, staff, and community members join us!
Joann Palmieri and Becky Middendorf did an absolutely awesome job with the face-painting! I received many compliments from parents and Barnes & Noble staff regarding the outstanding designs and attention to detail they lavished upon the students! Thank you both so very much!
Mrs. Peterson's girls showed up for the harmonica concert and played, accompanied by my husband, much to the enjoyment of everyone there. Many thanks to Casey Skinner, Kayleen Hager, and Tyler Fleury (and my husband Francis Russell)! You guys rock!
The costume contest was a blast! You are all so creative and have wonderful imaginations! Thank you for taking part! The winners were: Bailey Erfle (Goldilocks and the 3 Bears), Brady Skinner (Indiana Jones), and Emily Millard (Pippi Longstocking)!
The Think-Fun games were just that...FUN! We had such fun playing them and entering to win the prizes! Our winners were: Kayleen Hager, Brayden Erfle, Alec Nys, and Jacob DeBuff.
Our Scavenger Hunt was another big hit! The older students searched for 18 hidden tokens while the younger students searched for 15 hidden tokens. Although it took me and my daughter two hours to hide all the tokens, it took our students only 20 minutes or less to search and discover all of them. The winners were: Emily Millard (grades 4 and up, with 7 tokens) and Brenner Bushfield (grades K thru 3, with 6 tokens).
Again, I want to thank our PTA for providing the prizes for the Storybook Character contest as well as the hourly drawings for $5 gift cards to be used in Barnes & Noble. I also want to thank them for their support and help that day. Joann Palmieri was instrumental in setting up the television interviews with KTVQ2 and KULR8 and she was very supportive in interviewing with me on both occasions! It wouldn't have been nearly as successful without you all!
I want to thank Barnes & Noble for their help and contributions. They gave us the gift cards for the Scavenger Hunt prizes and provided both the cookie decorating activity as well as taking care of the set up and clean up for the bookfair. Lorrie Niles was fantastic! Last but not least, a big thank you to my 4 children who worked with me all day including setting up and clean up!
Now...(drum roll please!).... We earned $664.00 plus we received $93.75 worth of books donated to the school from our 'wish table' of book selections! That comes to a whopping $757.75 for our bookfair! WAY TO GO EVERYONE! YOU ALL ROCK!
