Posted April 12, 2016

Join us between May 5th – 11th for the 2016 Scholastic Book Fair (see attached Book Fair 2016 PDF for exact times). Our kick-off night, being held during Primary Arts Night will give one family the opportunity to win $50 in books ($25 for the family and $25 for the students classroom).

Why a book fair?

It gives children easy access to fun, engaging reading material and is the best way to develop their love of reading.
Scholastic Book Fairs is like a mini travelling bookstore: it brings the latest and greatest children’s books right to your school.
Every book purchased at your Scholastic Book Fair helps put great new books and teachers’ resources in your students’ classrooms and your school’s library.
Scholastic Book Fairs are excellent for communities without a local bookstore. Browse the best of children’s books right at your school.

Thank you for encouraging your child to read and for supporting this very important literary fundraiser for our school. We look forward to seeing you at the Book Fair!
