📚 BOOK FAIR IS HERE! 📚

It’s Book Fair week! Students will shop during their specials, and the fair will also be open until 4:30 PM each day for parents/families to shop with them.

Family Night is Thursday, so come back after school and shop together! ❤️

💳 Don’t forget the eWallet! It’s the easiest way to give your child money to shop while keeping a budget — and you don’t have to worry about them losing cash during the school day.

And if you’re able, consider rounding up or making a donation at checkout. Those donations help make sure students who may not otherwise have the opportunity to purchase a book get to take one home. 📖❤️

Every little bit helps, and we appreciate you supporting our Book Fair!

📚✨ BOOK FAIR STARTS MONDAY✨📚

Save the headache and go cashless!
Set up your child’s Scholastic eWallet now so they’re ready to shop during their specials.

💸 Pro tip: Add a little extra for sales tax… and the inevitable poster they just *have* to have

👉 Set up your eWallet here! https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/virgilmillselementaryschool

Happy shopping, Mountain Lions! 📖🦁

It’s Custodian Appreciation Day 🧹

So much of what this team does happens behind the scenes, but it absolutely does not go unnoticed… our school would be in shambles without them.

Thank you for keeping Mills clean, safe, and ready for our students and staff every single day. We appreciate you more than you know! 💚💛💪

We hope your birthday month is filled with all the good things—cake, smiles, and maybe a little extra pumpkin spice! 🍂🎂
