Book Fair!
Our Scholastic Book Fair is quickly approaching! This year’s fair will be held the week of October 28 - November 1 with special event shopping on October 30 from 5 - 7pm. This event not only provides high-quality reading materials for families to purchase but also serves as a valuable fundraising opportunity for our school. While both the company and our school do our best to vet the books and materials, we recognize that each family has different standards for what is appropriate. To accommodate these varying needs, we are offering three options for participation. Families can take advantage of one or any combination of the three options:
Option 1
In-School Shopping: Students can shop with their class at a scheduled time during the school day and independently select books to purchase. Assigned class times occur during their library class the week of the book fair. Parents are also welcome to join their child at the scheduled shopping time to assist with the selection. If you prefer your child NOT shop independently during the school day, please complete the following Google form:

Option 2
Event Shopping: The book fair will be open October 30 from 5 - 7 pm, allowing parents to shop with their child and help select books to purchase.
Option 3
Online Shopping: Families can shop from home via our online book fair beginning October 25, enabling parents and students to select books together with this link:

We look forward to seeing you at the book fair and appreciate your support in fostering a love of reading within our school community.
