Fee fi fo fum! I smell the pages of a Fairy Tale bookfair!

Hello Mountain Oaks Families!
Can I interest you in some Magic Beans?
Get ready—the "Giant's Castle" Book Fair is coming to our school! This is an opportunity to turn those magic beans into a path to fill a student's home library with new books they’ll dive into again and again.
The easiest way to let your student climb the bean stalk independently is by creating an eWallet. It’s easy to set up and easy for others to add funds.
Create an eWallet, and you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to Share the Fair - the golden goose that supports students at our school who need help buying books.
Here’s everything else you need to know about the "Giant's Castle" Book Fair:
Dates: The Bean Stalk grows Monday 10/27 and will be chopped down Friday 10/31

Location: Mountain Oaks San Andreas Library and in the clouds!

Time: 8:30am - 4pm Mon-Thurs 8:30am-12:30pm Friday

As always there will be Book Fair games to earn a chance to win a free book! Ask the Giant's attendant for information on the games!
Be quick or clever else the Giant will find you!

Restroom Vape Sensors

Dear Mountain Oaks Community Members,

We have recently installed vape sensors in the All Gender Restrooms and the Student Restrooms in the gym hallway. These sensors will alert staff when anyone is smoking or vaping in these restrooms. Anyone who is seen leaving the restrooms after the vape alert (cameras are in the hallways) can face investigation and potentially discipline.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the vape sensors.

Thank you, Kathleen Lewis, Administrator
