Your child's special book will be displayed by the Happy Birthday Sponge Bob.  This is another great way to encourage and celebrate reading with children.  I will send home a form (below) with your child the month before their birthday.  If your child has already had a birthday you may contact me.  Please email Mrs. Smallwood lsmallwood@ldisd.net or print out the form below.
