Dear Families,

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school and you are invited to come and share in this celebration of literacy with us!

Book Fair viewing hours for students are on October 6th and 7th. Our shopping days are October 11th-14th from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. These dates coincide with our special Fall BBQ and Meet-the-Teacher Night. Families can shop the Book Fair on October 13th from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.​

One great way to ensure our children get started with reading and keep on reading all year long is with the Classroom Wish List program. We urge you to stop by the CWL display when you first arrive at the Fair. Learn how purchasing books and donating them to your child’s classroom can give little readers even greater access to the books they want to read by expanding existing classroom libraries.

Each teacher was asked to fill-in their “book wish list” prior to the Fair. Look for your child’s teacher’s name on the display. All teachers took great care in selecting the best and most appropriate books to meet their students’ reading levels and learning needs. It is their wish that these books become a permanent part of the classroom library. Every generous gift you make will be recognized with a special bookplate, identifying your family or child as the donor.

Your support can help a classroom blossom with new and exciting adventures in reading, stimulating young minds for years to come.
