Book Fair at Johnsview Village

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school from February 22^nd to February 26^th and you are invited to come and share in this celebration of literacy with us!

Now more than ever, reading is vital to leading a better life. It’s the door opener to the 21^st century for all children. Knowing how to read is just the beginning. Motivating young people to KEEP READING, comprehend what they read and develop the ability to think creatively are the end goals.

At the Book Fair you will find books to purchase that will help to motivate more reading. With your involvement, we can inspire children to practice reading and read more often. Together, we can make a difference in their lives that will last a lifetime. Your support of this vital literary event is a key part of helping us obtain new books and resources for our library and classrooms.

Don’t forget to visit the Classroom Wish List display when you visit the Fair. Take a moment to learn how purchasing books and donating them to your child’s classroom, or the library and how you can give readers even greater ACCESS to the books they want to read by expanding existing classroom libraries.

Visit the Scholastic Book Fairs website at www.scholastic.ca/bookfairs to read reviews of the Featured Books. You can also watch book trailers and author videos with your child on the Book Tube page.

Next week, your child will be bringing home a Book Fair flyer that provides a preview of only a FEW of the many books available to purchase at our Fair. Scan the QR code on the front of the flyer with the QR reader on your device to get more detailed information about these books. On February 22^nd students will have the opportunity to preview the books and create their wish lists, which they will be sharing with you at home.

The flyer also contains a special ballot that parents can deposit for a draw. Your child can win $50 in books – $25 for your family PLUS $25 for your child’s classroom!

Don’t forget to mark the Book Fair dates, February 22^nd to February 26^th, on your calendar! The Book Fair will be open at 9:00 a.m. in the morning and after school until 4:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you during our Scholastic Book Fair. Thank you, in advance, for supporting this great literary event and our school.
