Important Book Fair Information

Dear Parents and Families:

Reading is the most important skill you can teach a child. Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can influence the most.  We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives.

Our Scholastic Book Fair theme - Book Fair Fiesta: ¡Yo Quiero Libros! ¡Vamos a Leer! (I Want Books! Let's Go Read!), surrounds students with hundreds of fun and engaging books. The Book Fair gives kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books. Like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the more skilled reader they’ll be.

Please take a look at the flyer with your child and make selections that are “just right” for them.  It is always helpful when students arrive at the Book Fair with book selections already in mind.  However, there will be many other book choices that are not included on the flyer.  Additionally, if you do not want your child to purchase novelty items (pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, etc.) please send a note so we can follow your instructions.  Please note that the Minecraft Essential Handbook is on backorder.  Students are still welcome to purchase the book. Ask your child’s teacher for an order form.  Students that order the book during the fair will receive a free Minecraft Poster. 

Students will attend the Book Fair during their “Specials” time.  PE students come at the beginning of their “Specials” time and all the other “Specials” classes come during the last 20 minutes of class.   Parents are welcome to attend the Book Fair with their child!

Book Fair Dates:             2/3-2/7

Shopping Hours:            8:45am-3:00pm

Special Events:               Family Nights-2/4 and 2/6 from 4pm-7pm.  Donuts for Dads- 2/5 and 2/7 from 8:15am-11:00am.  A special invitation for dads and granddads to come and shop with their student during these times!  Donuts and coffee will be served. Please park in the back along the carline ring road.
