We would like to give a special thanks to the Volkswagen Sea Otter Classic for sending out professional BMX riders to do a Bike Safety Rally at our school today. The students absolutely loved it and learned a lot of great safety tips. They were especially excited to see a BMX rider jump over their principal, Dr. Reyes!

Reading is the most important skill you can teach a child. Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can influence the most.

We invite you to visit the Scholastic Book Fair at Del Rey Woods Elementary School Library and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives.

The Scholastic Book Fair theme - "Book Fair Luau! It's a Reading Celebration!" is part of an exciting reading event that brings to school a wonderful selection of fun, engaging, and affordable books kids want to read. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they'll get.

Reading is vital to every child's success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they're young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent's direct involvement in his/her child's education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair. Hope to see you there!

The fair will take place on April 12, 13, 16, and 18th after school from 2:30pm - 4:30pm, and on Wednesday from 12:45pm - 3:00pm. We will also hold a book fair on April 17th from 4:30pm - 7:00pm in the Library. We will be accepting cash, check, and credit card. Online shopping will available April 10th through the 22nd. Online orders will be shipped to the Del Rey Woods Elementary School Library, care of Rose Eichinger.

April is School Library Month!

Library programs contribute to the individual growth and development of all students, while fostering both excellence and equality in education. We would like to thank our Library Media Specialist, Ms. Rose Eichinger, for all of her hard work and dedication in providing information through both traditional resources and new technologies to our students in our school library.

The 2012 Northern California Braille Challenge is hosted by Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in collaboration with California School for the Blind, Lighthouse for the Blind, and Society for the Blind.

We are proud to announce that one of our very own, Monserath Espinola Ramirez, took home first place for her level last Saturday at the Northern California Braille Challenge in San Jose! Congratulations Monserath!

This year marks the fifteenth annual celebration of reading and Dr. Seuss's birthday! We cordially invite you as fellow community members to put aside the many hats you wear for work and play and don the red and white striped stovepipe hat of the Cat in the Hat to come and read to our students.
