The Book Fair is coming!
The Annual Stone Ranch Book Fair is open next week, October 23-26. This year's theme is Enchanted Forest: Let Your Imagination Grow! This is a great event for students and their families as well as the Stone Ranch Library, because money raised at the Book Fair is the library's main source of funding. And our students LOVE books! So come and support our school library while you grow your own home library. If we sell 4,000 books, Mrs. Danzer and Mrs. Barragan will dress up like fairies and let two students from each grade cast a spell on them - with Silly String!
- The Book Fair is open 7:30am - 3:00pm daily (until 1:00pm on Wednesday). Classes will visit during scheduled times. Parents are welcome during all open hours.
- Breakfast with Books: Wednesday, October 24, 7:00 - 8:00am
- Pajama Story Time: Thursday, October 25, 5:00 - 7:00pm; Stories begin at 6:00pm.
It is Red Ribbon Week!

Each day has a new theme and students can participate to demonstrate their commitment to “Life is Your Journey. Travel Drug Free.” On Monday, red ribbons will be given to each Trailblazer. Names of students will be chosen at random each day and will receive a prize if the red ribbon is worn, so be sure to wear your red ribbon all week!
