His books have been featured on the Henson Productions national television show, “Between the Lions,” and nominated for many awards including the 2010 Edgar Allen Poe Mystery Award and the Monarch Kid’s Choice Award.

Students and staff have the chance to purchase Aaron Reynolds’ books and have him autograph them. Book orders are due on Jan. 19.
APT Book Drive starts Feb. 1
The District 67 APT Book Drive takes place Feb. 1-15. Last year, District 67 APT, in association with Bernie’s Book Bank, collected more than 20,000 books from District 67 families. Those books were given to Bernie’s Book Bank, where they were distributed to at-risk children in the Chicagoland area. Encourage your children to bring their gently used children’s books to school and place them in the collection boxes in their classrooms. For information, visit the district website: www.lf67.org.
