TEAMS USA AND RENAISSANCE BOOK RETURN REQUEST If you borrowed a book from the 7/8 teams (Touching Spirit Bear or another title), we are hoping to retrieve them so they are available for next year's readers. If you are able to drop them by the school, we encourage you to do so. Thank you, and keep reading!
