Jr Husky Happenings 2.24.23

Midvalley Book Exchange

We are preparing for our second annual Midvalley Book Exchange! In conjunction with Read Across America Day and with the help of The United Way, we will be providing the opportunity for each Jr Husky to choose a new book, as well as the chance to exchange any previously loved books. As you start to tidy up for Spring, save those books that your students may have outgrown! We are collecting gently used books February 27th – March 2nd! Book Exchange will be held during lunch on March 2nd!
