It's finally here! We have the iPad winner for our Book Blast! Congratulations to Teagan Seiber! Students have done a fabulous job of completing their Treasure Maps this past week. Nice job with building your home libraries! We are very proud of students, and remember just because the iPad drawing is over does not mean the Book Blast is over. Students will receive at least one new, exciting book for their home libraries, but you have the chance to earn ten (10)! #BookBlastAdventures
