Heritage to hold book fair

Heritage Book Fair Returns in Partnership with Blue Ribbon Book Fairs
Happy Campers have S’more Fun!

The 6th Annual Heritage Book Fair will be held on Thursday, March 7th from 5-7 p.m. at the Heritage Elementary/Junior High School in Homer.  

Please join them for lots of games, activities, free dinner, prizes, and as always – Books!

The school will start serving dinner at 5 p.m. and continue until it’s gone.  In the multi-purpose room we will be serving hot dogs, chips, dessert, and drinks.

All students will have the opportunity to preview the book fair to see what is being offered this year.  Our teachers will also have a chance to preview so they can fill out their “wish lists”.

With help from the community, our teachers have received many wonderful books for our students. Thank you!

The school is also proud to work with the Homer Community Library.  You can visit them to learn more about what the Homer Community Library has to offer and they will also be able to help you obtain a library card!

The school would like to thank the following businesses for donating this year: Meijer in Urbana, Sidney Dairy Barn, Main Street Belly Deli, Homer Casey’s, and Charlie’s in Homer.  

Please come and enjoy an evening filled with good food, fun games, and bountiful books!
