Overdue Books
Last week a book was returned to the library.  It was a little overdue...by 7 YEARS!
This got me thinking.  Can I manage to get all the books back that are outstanding from current pupils, especially the ones that are still outstanding from our time at WHEC.  Check bags, lockers, top of wardrobe, under the bed.  Let us see how many I can get back by the end of November.  If you find any books at home from older siblings, please bring them in too.
