ORDER YOUR SIGNED BOOKS FROM OUR VISITING AUTHOR
Pre-K, K, and 1 parents: don’t forget, this is the last week to order signed and personalized books from our visiting author during Festival of the Book! Keith Brockett has two picture books: Ollie on Stage, and The Nutcracker’s Night Before Christmas, both offered at a nice discount to us. Here is his page on the publisher’s website if you’d like to see his books: https://sleepingbearpress.com/contributors/1689 (But don’t order from there! Those prices are higher than what he is offering the schools during Festival.) There was a back-pack-o-gram with the order form a couple of weeks ago. Please contact me if you need another one: ewaterbury@k12albemarle.org
Thanks, Mrs. Waterbury

YOU COULD BE OUR LUCKY WINNER!
Two Box Top Sweepstakes are running for the month of February - simply scan your store receipt using the new Box Tops for Education app for a chance to win 5,000 Box Tops for Murray and a $50 VISA gift card for YOU! Don't miss out on these chances to earn extra cash for Murray.
If you're not ready to use the app, send in your store receipts to your child's homeroom teacher or drop them in the Box Tops Receipts box in the front hallway and we'll scan them for you. If you shop online, you can email your receipts to receipts@boxtops4education.com. We still accept any unexpired clippable Box Tops so send those in to school also.
Our next Box Tops collection deadline is February 28 to crown the new Box Tops Champs! Each Top is worth $0.10 so they really add up. Our goal this year is $1,000 and we need your help as we are only a little more than half way there. Email any questions to Teller Stalfort at tstalfort@gmail.com or visit www.boxtops4education.com.

LUMINARY IS LOOKING FOR SUBMISSIONS!
It’s that time of year again…
V.L. Murray’s literary magazine LUMINARY is looking for works of art, poetry, and stories from our creative kids for this year’s magazine.
If you’ve spotted an interesting piece of work from your child, submit it to the office for possible inclusion in LUMINARY! Include your child’s name, grade and teacher along with it. LUMINARY will choose one piece of art from all the submissions to decorate the cover of the magazine. No need to include the LUMINARY name on art as we will add that ourselves.
Submissions are due to the office by April 30 at the latest.
Feel free to email any questions to Caroline Hirst at carolinevt2000@yahoo.com. We can’t wait to see what our talented, unique, fun children
create!
