Congratulations to Nathan Flinchum, who received honorable mention recognition for his physics project “The Can That Strikes Back—Z” at the Regional Science Fair in Charlottesville last week.
The elementary school has lots of exciting things going on this week. The biggest highlight this week was the bookfair. According to Aney Massie and Paula Klatko the bookfair is going well even with the recession. The kids are buying books. The parents are really supporting reading and giving their children money. Even if the kids are a few pennies short the librarians always seem to find enough somewhere to make up the difference.
Mrs. Klakto said, “We try to get the kids to buy books instead of just posters and pencils.”
Books range from 60 cents to $12.95.
The library really benefits from the fair, according to Mrs. Massie.
“The library keeps 40 percent of the sales in cash to buy needed items for the library such as audio visual equipment and tapes, etc. and they get 20 percent of the balance owed to the company in free books that were not purchased during the fair.”
Mrs. Klatko said, “We try to buy as many of the hardback books that are usually more expensive so the children can benefit from them by checking them out from the library. They also replenish their paperback books from the shelves for the children to use through the year.
