Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks to PTO for a Great Fall Festival
The Fall Festival was a spectacular time! Thank you so much to all the parents who volunteered to help organize and work the event. Also a HUGE thanks to Allison Maynard and Jeremy Pearce for all their hard work planning and running the entire event!

TKS Online Store Sale
With the holiday season fast approaching TKS Online (Sideline) Store will be running promotions through the months of November and December for all your holiday needs.
Holiday Book Fair
It is (almost) the most enchanting time of the year to get your holiday book shopping started!! Perhaps your kiddo pulled out his/her Scholastic Book flyer this afternoon, marked with all the books that their heart desires, and you wondered, when can we snag some of these books? Never fear—the TKS Holiday Book Fair is Monday, December 3rd through Friday, December 7th. (Online shopping will start soon!) This is a great opportunity to get shopping done for nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and of course your own TKS readers. Who doesn't love the gift of reading? The theme this year is “The Enchanted Forest: Let Your Imagination Grow.”
The Book Fair is an important fundraiser for us. During our last holiday book fair (we will host another in the spring), we raised more than $6,100 (our best winter yet!!), which funded books for the library, our classrooms and also supplies (like book carts) and furniture for our library. This year, TKS is working on a research study with faculty from both Southeast Oklahoma State University and Texas A&M-Commerce to implement the best reading strategies with the graphic novel format. To that end, we plan to bolster that format of texts in addition to bestsellers, Newberry, and Caldecott Award winners.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to staff the store. PLEASE sign up here: Holiday Book Fair Volunteers
