The Mandarin Sale is On!
Order forms for the Magnolia Student Council Annual Mandarin Sale are available now in the Magnolia School Office and on the school website.

From the Library:
Mystery Books - can't judge a book by its cover, so we covered them up! The first line of the first chapter is on the outside of the book. If the first line entices, then students check-out, read and write an online review, due October 30th. Treats rewarded for reading and writing a review.

Students can write online reviews for their peers by accessing Alexandria Researcher from the Magnolia Website/Student Links/Researcher. Type in the title of the books, star it and write review. All reviews are subject to review before posting.
 
Overdue Notices will go out Tuesday, October 27th. Please remind your students to renew or return their library books before then. (Mrs. Sharon)
