I remember going to the Book Fair when I was in elementary school. My family didn't have a lot of money, so I worked for my grandpa on his farm to earn money to buy books, some for myself and some to give as gifts to my little brother and baby cousins. One year in particular stands out in my mind. I was in sixth grade. One of the third grade teachers at my school was over 80 years old! Her name was Mrs. White and she asked me each morning if I would help her with cleaning the blackboard and cleaning her art supply area. When the Book Fair came that fall, Mrs. White sent me to the library with a note to the librarian saying I was to pick a book from the Book Fair and she would stop by the library later that day and pay for it. I picked The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It became my all-time favorite book and I still cherish it to this day.
It's also a great time of year because the North Carolina State Fair is now open! What a great way to spend time with your family! In fact, the ferris wheel Lego set is ready to be put on display starting on Monday. Stop by the media center this week to attend the Book Fair and to see my newest Lego creation. I can't wait to see you!
