Literati Book Clubs
Looking for a gift idea for a school-aged student?  Try Literati Book Clubs!  For only $9.95/month, your child (or grandchild, niece, or nephew) gets 5 new books!  It’s a great way to inspire a lifelong love of reading. See below for more information.

Lost & Found
We have a lot of Lost items waiting to be Found.  If your student is missing something, there’s a real good chance it’s our Lost & Found.  The next time you’re at Cushing, swing by to see if anything belongs to your family. Parents seem to have the magic touch with finding lost items.

**Anything left by the time we head out for Winter Break will be donated.
