The South Lyon Educational Foundation is teaming up with the Lyon Township Public Library and Salem-South Lyon District Library to make sure our SLCS teachers have lots of great books for their classroom libraries this year.
 
Do you have any used books in good condition (pre-K – 12) that you’d like to donate? Please email perryrac@yahoo.com for a convenient porch pick-up. Donations will be accepted from now until Monday, August 21.
 
Together, we can support our kids and our schools!
 
Back-to-School Picture Books
The hilarious crayons from the #1 New York Times bestseller The Day the Crayons Quit are ready to go back to school!
What do glow-in-the-dark glue sticks, an electronic garbage truck pencil sharpener, and neon paper clips have in common? Not one of them is on the list and yet they all end up in the back-to-school cart when Daddy, Jake, and Jenny pick out school supplies while Mommy's off shopping in another part of the store.
Summer days are getting shorter and it's almost time for the first day of school for Llama! But Llama Llama isn't ready for summertime to end. All he wants is for summer to go on forever! He's anxious about his first day back at school but maybe, with some help from his friends and Mama Llama, going back to school will be fun after all!
