  2. Media Matters Thank you to families for supporting our school library media center with library projects this year.  The Computers for Education Program and Box Top Collecting dollars have been valuable resources. It takes lots of dollars to purchase books.  Please take time to talk with your child and make sure he/she keeps books borrowed returned in a timely manner.  Our library has too many "over due books"! And YES!...It is time for the Scholastic BOGO Fair...Buy One and Get One!  BOGO Fair from Scholastic Books will be held at ourLibrary Media Center the week of May 7-11.  Check the letter that will come home with your child noting times to visit.  The BOGO FAIR is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of getting books for summer reading!  Studies show that children who read four or more books over the summer fare better on reading-comprehension tests in the fall.  So... plan to visit our BOGO Fair and BUY BOOKS! Support our Public Libraries too!  Gaston County Public Library is promoting literacy with a Summer Reading Program that begins June 11 - July 28, 2012.  So Dream Big...READ ! "Check it out"...at your Public Library! 5th Grade Charleston Trip Our 5th grade students, teachers and chaperones returned from Charleston Friday, April 27th.
