The Blyth PS has been very busy
spending money from last year's
grocery tapes by purchasing four
new Magic School Bus CDs which
include Exploring the Human

Exploring the Solar System and

They've also purchased new
books from Scholastic with this

reaching $99.56 with Zehrs tapes
and $137.48 with Scrimgeour's
tapes. This tops last year's total, so
keep sending them in.
