Dear Families,
The
Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school from February 27th to March 3rd and you are
invited to come and share in this celebration of literacy with us!
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
BookTube 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. On February 27nd 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 27th to March
3rd) on your calendar! The Book Fair will be open during morning and
lunch recess and between 3:30 and 4 p.m. so that parents have an opportunity to
visit. Parents, please don’t forget to check in with the office first.
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.
We look forward to seeing you during our Scholastic Book
Fair. Thank you, in advance, for supporting this great literary event and our
school.
