P.S. This one is for book club members. If you are able to secure a copy of The Sea of Monsters and bring it to school on Monday, I will give you 3 Sanford dollars! You can get your copies from local libraries or bookstores. If you order from Amazon, just bring in the receipt so I have proof of purchase if the book will not be delivered for a couple days. Also, due to our busy Friday, I did not get a chance to hand out Sanford Dollars. However, on Monday I will give 10 Sanford Dollars to anyone who has completed the book club challenge so far.
