Upcoming 4th and 5th graders are encouraged to try out to become members of our Battle of the Books Team for the 2024 - 2025 school year. When the list of the books for next year is provided, I will print it and offer it to all interested students. Most, if not all, of the books will be available at Martin Memorial Library. Students who are seriously interested in becoming a member of our EJ Hayes Battle of the Books Team are encouraged to be reading these books during the summer.

Book Fair Information

The Spring 2024 Book Fair was held March 21st - March 28th

I would like to thank everyone who came to the book fair and helped to make it a pleasurable time for all who attended. Students, parents, grandparents, teachers, visitors etc... had an enjoyable time looking and finding special books and novelty items. Everyone loves a book fair because there is always something that is new and interesting that cannot be found anywhere else.

Sponsoring the book fair does take effort and teamwork by more people than most realize. I appreciate the patience of the teachers and the flexibility they incorporated to allow their excited students to leave the class and come to make a purchase. I am also appreciative of the many others who stepped in and helped to cover my classes and duties for the times I was running the book fair. I am also blessed to have two wonderful sisters who willingly give their time to come help with the book fair from the beginning stage of setting it up to the final stage of packing everything up. They look forward to meeting and interacting with the students. Without the cooperation and teamwork of everyone, the book fair would not have been as successful as it was.
