McKelvie Library News Blog

Your child should have received an email, sent to their school email address, from the " McKelvie  Intermediate School Library." This email lists the books and textbooks that they currently have checked out from the school library. The email is a friendly reminder of what needs to be returned to our school library on June 8th-11th. I am not worried that books are overdue at this point. Please see Mrs.  Asdot's  memo for additional information about this scheduled process. Thank you for encouraging your child( ren ) to be on the lookout for this email communication.  This will be the last  PSA  for 5th and 6th grade voters  who have read/listened to 2 or more Great Stone Face nominees. Voting ends on May 31st. Many  McKelvie  students were actively reading through this list!  McKelvie  students will be able to cast their ONE vote for their favorite nominee via a Google Form ballot. This  form/ballot ...

Thank you to all of the  McKelvie  families for returning your library books last Friday, May 15th!
