Spring reading in high gear at Book Fair

Spring reading was kicked into high gear at the Robbins Lane PTA spring book fair. Book selections varied from bestsellers and classic collections to cookbooks and the ever popular mystery books. Students were also able to shop for posters and novelty items with their classmates and teachers. The Robbins Lane PTA was proud to be able to provide each teacher with a generous stipend to buy books to freshen up their class libraries. An online sale was hosted as well for families to shop together at home.
