Dear Parents,

Our Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for Tuesday, October 9th and 11th, 2018 from 4:00-8:00 PM during Parent Teacher Conferences.  We invite you to our school to share in this celebration of books and reading.  Not only does the Book Fair help raise funds to purchase essential classroom and library resources, it encourages reading among our students.

As students grow older, it is so important to keep books in their lives.  Students who remain readers now are more likely to be lifelong learners. Readers develop larger vocabularies, a greater knowledge of the world, and higher academic achievement. In fact, studies indicate that being a reader is more predictive of success than intelligence, economic background, or gender.

Our Book Fair provides a wide variety of books specifically selected to appeal to elementary school interests.  Students will discover books that are entertaining, inspirational, and a resource for dealing with emerging emotions.  In addition, our Fair will have bestsellers that adults will find interesting and useful.

Come browse and find books that can help your child stay connected with reading.  At our Fair, we will also have a Classroom Wish List board on display for anyone interested in helping our teachers add more books to their classroom library shelves.  Classroom libraries reinforce positive learning environments and provide all students with greater access to books.

If you are unable to join us at the book fair, you may also shop at our online fair.  Go to www.scholastic.com/fair and choose our school.

Sincerely,
Ms. Bean
Book Fair Chairperson
