Here is the Book Fair schedule for the upcoming week. If you would like to create an E-Wallet for your child, please visit https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/rosenwalddunbarelemsch to do so before your child shops. This is a great way to send money without needing to send cash with your child. If you do send cash, please make sure it is in an envelope or baggie labeled with your child's first & last name. Thanks for your help with this!
Miss Preston's class is dreaming BIG dreams! These students have been laying the foundation for a project that will be known as "Jessamine Cares."

Keep your eyes out for more information in the coming months!
