Scholastic will match the amount in books for kids in need. Help us put books into the hands of those who do not have them.                                  Flyers for the Book Fair will be handed out today or Monday. Each flyer is numbered.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Two men were being tried for murder.  The jury found one man guilty and the other innocent.  The judge turned to the guilty man and said, “Even though your guilt has been established, the law compels me to set you free.”  How could such a bizarre judgment occur?


What two opposites can be spelled by rearranging the letters of UNGOODLY?
