The Fun Fair will be a great time for everyone, featuring a variety of balloon animals, games, the Frog Lady, snacks, and more!

Upcoming Author Visit at Avoca West
The Book Stall in Winnetka is bringing author Tim Fite to speak with Avoca 1st & 2nd graders on Thursday, March 9 about his new picture book, A Bucket of Questions!
Why do kids lose their teeth?
Why do seals clap?
What is at the bottom of the ocean?
Artist and musician Tim Fite is here to answer your most important questions—and then some!—in this marvelously wacky, utterly imaginative, and irreverently playful picture book.
A printed order form for personalized, signed copies of the book will be sent home with students this week. In addition, you may order a copy online here. All orders are due by Monday, March 6.
