WHO: GKES Students & Families
WHAT: The Scholastic Book Fair is back!
WHERE: GKES Media Center
WHEN: The Book Fair will run from Tuesday, October 10th through Friday, October 20th. Students will visit the book fair during regularly scheduled media classes to shop
and make wish lists. Students will also be able to sign up to shop throughout the duration of the fair for any additional purchases. Shopping hours are not available during the school day for guests. Parents are welcome to visit the book fair from 2:15-3:00 each day. If you’d like to shop after school with your child, please be sure to sign them out in the office before 2:20.
***Book Fair will close early on Friday, October 20th at 1pm, and after-school shopping hours will be adjusted from 12:15-1pm due to the early dismissal schedule on this day.
WHY: A percentage of each sale helps fund book purchases for the GKES Media Center and promotes a love of reading throughout our school community.
HOW: Students will create wish lists and shop during Media. Purchases can be made
with cash, check, credit card, or e-Wallet accounts. Families are also able to shop online using our Book Fair Homepage at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/gk. It is highly encouraged to send in students’ wish lists or book fair flyers with titles identified for purchase if you would like your child to make specific choices while shopping. All purchases will be charged 6% sales tax in addition to the cost of the items.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs. Dantuono in the media center at abdantuono@smcps.org or send a dojo.
