Aiken’s annual Scholastic Book Fair will be starting the week 11/14-11/18 so mark your calendar! In library classes the week before the fair, students will be hearing book talks about the books available for purchase at the fair and getting excited that it will be in person again! We want this book fair to be successful for not only the school, but for each child and family as well. To that end, we are asking for your help to make sure every Aiken student is able to purchase a book. Please help us by asking your child to donate change to the Aiken Penny Wars!! Each class will have their own bucket in their classroom to donate coins/dollars. 100% of the money collected will go to help Aiken students who may not be able to afford a book purchase a book at the book fair. Thank you so much for your help in supporting a lifelong love of reading in all Aiken students. Penny Wars will run from 11/1-11/14.

Annual Parents Night Out:
It is crazy to think that we are already planning for events in the Spring, but we are now looking to organize our annual Parents Night Out. Cassandra Toscano is our new PNO chair for this year and she is excited to announce that planning for our event has now started. This year’s theme is “All Are Welcome” to mirror our new mural and celebrate the 55 countries representing our Aiken families. Parents’ Night Out is the largest fundraiser for the whole year and has supported so many important investments at Aiken like classroom smart boards, teacher wish list items, subscriptions for the school, field trips, etc. Please fill out this quick survey to help us plan for this year’s event. Thank you and we cannot wait to see you there!
