Library Book Fair: Required Reading "Tuck Everlasting"

Dear Parents,

Fifth grade teachers are excited to announce our upcoming unit using the popular novel, Tuck Everlasting , by Natalie Babbitt. This is always a favorite of all students and a highlight of the year.

Coopertown Middle School will host a Book Fair from Monday, November 10 - Friday, November 14. Students will have an opportunity to purchase Tuck Everlasting at the Book Fair for a price of $ 3.28 (including tax). Otherwise, it can be purchased at another bookstore. We do have some books available for students who choose not to purchase a book. However, many students enjoy underlining important passages or vocabulary as the class discusses them. Students will not be allowed to mark in books that belong to the school.

Book Fair advertisements will be sent home this week. Please review this with your student. This is an excellent way for your child to purchase books that interest them at a reasonable price.
