Just a reminder the Book Fair is open three more days! Parents, if you would like to come shop with your child, Mrs. Harbin arrives at school every morning at 7:15, so you may shop before class begins. You may also shop between 1pm-3pm, if you use a credit/debit card. We will close at noon Friday. If you want an easy way to give your child money to shop, there is a link below with directions to make an e-wallet. E-wallets are an easy way to load money on your child's account and you never have to worry about them losing cash or checks! However, we do still accept cash or checks made payable to Holly Springs Elementary. Thank you for your support of the media center fundraiser! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D2yOyRwTcpoEkoMTCdXm43_PJJL56xbn/view
