    Scholastic Book Order
    Scholastic

    Scholastic book order forms will be coming home each month with your child. You have the optional opportunity to order quality books at great prices. The school earns points for these orders which we trade in for free books or school equipment. We also provide the option of online ordering. There are several added benefits to online ordering and it's easy! Follow the steps from the link below and pay with a credit card. (User Name: MSCK, Password: bookorder.) We can still accept order forms at the school as well. Simply fill in the order form on the back and return it to the school by the due date. Please, make your checks payable to Scholastic. The books arrive about 2 weeks after the due date. You will receive one book order form per month.


    Portraits

    Sparrow Portraits will again be offering portraits of your children. You will have a chance to view the pictures BEFORE you buy. Sparrow offers online ordering. You will be able to choose sheets of 1 8x10, 2 5x7s, 4 4x5s, and/or 9 wallets. The cost is quite reasonable and the portraits will be back in plenty of time for holiday gift giving.
