Nottingham PTSO Barnes & Noble BookFair

Many thank all of the bookfair supporters that came out to the Nottingham PTSO Barnes & Noble BookFair to support the Nottingham Library Media Center! Ms. Parker did a wonderful job as the MC, the students rocked the house with songs from Jack Johnson to Christmas songs and even some songs that they wrote themselves! I am not a singer but I started the night with thanking everyone and gave a shout out to Ms. Parker for getting the students to sign up!

We are very fortunate to have had Molly Voorheis spearheading this successful event with the Nottingham PTSO.

Again, thank you for your support!
