MAUDE LAIRD MIDDLE SCHOOL BOOK FAIR AND OPEN HOUSE

Maude Laird Middle School held its Open House and Book Fair last night and raised $958 for the library. "All of the money raised goes back into the library," said Lisa Schumacher, school librarian. Schumacher wanted to thank volunteers like Joyce Jackson, Debra Shepard and library aid, Diane Wimberley and of course the PTA parents who make the book fairs possible.
