PREVIEW: SPRING BOOK FAIR
The Reading Celebration continues next week with our school’s Spring Scholastic Book Fair! Please reference this shopping schedule to see when your student will visit the fair.
Students will have the opportunity to shop during their allotted class time, Wednesday evening with a family member, and Friday morning. Purchases can be made with cash, check, credit card or eWallets.
Prize Wheel – Cash Only!
Students may spin the wheel for a chance to win fun novelty items or even a book/poster. The cost is $1 per spin.
Used Book Sale
We will be selling bags of used books for $5 per bag. These books are mostly nonfiction.
Parent Volunteers & Donations
If you’re interested in volunteering, please sign up here . We are still collecting used books if you would like to donate. We are also collecting plastic and paper bags to use during the fair.
Wednesday is Family Shopping Night
Join us from 5pm to 7pm on Wednesday, April 24 for Family Shopping at the Book Fair. This is a great opportunity to stock up on some fun summer reading! Please enter/exit through the rear door nearest the library.
Classroom Wish Lists & New Teacher Welcome Books
These are titles that I’d like to add to our classroom libraries. Refreshing our classroom libraries regularly gives kids a reason to keep reading. Next year Saint Mary’s will be blessed with some new teachers. Help welcome them by purchasing a book or two!
Pre-Fair Pro-Tips
- Set up a Book Fair eWallet, which gives students a secure, cash-free way to shop.
- Take a look at these Elementary and Middle School flyers to see a sample of the great titles that will be available.
- Please know that we are now required to charge tax on every purchase, so please send your children with enough money to cover tax in addition to their total book cost.
- Get a jump-start on shopping through our Online Book Fair starting April 22nd.
Finally, while some books have not yet been released and won’t be at the Fair, you can still purchase them as a pre-order during the Fair so that our school benefits from the purchase.
