Our Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for December 3rd – 7th. We invite you to our school to share in this celebration of books and reading. Not only does this event help raise funds to purchase essential classroom library resources, it encourages reading among our students. Volunteers are needed for two hour shifts, to run the book fair!

As students grow older, it is so important to keep books in their lives. Students who remain readers now are more likely to be lifelong learners. Readers develop larger vocabularies, a greater knowledge of the world, and higher academic achievement. In fact, studies indicate that being a reader is more predictive of success than intelligence, economic background, or gender.
Our Book Fair provides a wide variety of age-appropriate books specifically selected to appeal to middle school tastes and interests. Students will discover books that are fun, entertaining, inspirational, and a resource for dealing with real-life experiences and emerging emotions. In addition, our Fair will have bestsellers that adults will find interesting and useful.
Students will visit the fair with their language arts teachers on these days:
Monday & Wednesday – Ms. Wright, Ms. Craft, and Mr. Deree’s classes.
Tuesday & Thursday– Mr. Parkes, Mr. Lear, and Ms. Calley’s classes.
Friday will be an open day for students to visit with a pass.
