BOOK FAIR IS BACK!

The Scholastic Book Fair will be held in our library from November 28 - December 2nd (during conference week). All proceeds will buy books for homeroom classroom libraries!  Students can shop on their own during their assigned lunch recess or with an adult the morning of conferences. The schedule is as follows:

Monday, November 28th during lunch recess: Grades 1st, 2nd, and 5th

Tuesday, November 29th during lunch recess: Grades K, 3rd, and 4th

Wednesday, November 30th and Thursday December 1st  (Families): 9:30am – 12:30pm

*An adult must accompany children.  Please do not drop your child off during your conference.

Friday, December 2nd during lunch recess:  Grades K-5

*This year, parents can choose to create an eWallet for their children to spend at the fair which means they won’t have to carry cash to school. More details about this will come home in an email from Mrs. Snyder.

See you at the fair!
