Black Bob Family Newsletter

The Book Fair will be held from October 14-16, and we're thrilled to offer our students the opportunity to explore and choose from a wide selection of books. This is a wonderful chance for them to discover new favorites and expand their love of reading.

The shopping hours are as follows:

• October 14: 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM
• October 15: 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Students can shop with cash, eWallet, or attend the evening hours with a grown-up. I encourage you to start exploring the Scholastic Book Fair website with your students: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/blackbobelementaryschool
