Dear Parents,
Our Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for November 15th-November 19th from 7:40am-4:00pm. We invite you to our school to share in this celebration of books and reading. Not only does the Book Fair help raise funds to purchase essential classroom and library resources, it also encourages reading among our students as they shop together and share opinions.
As students grow older, it is 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 have 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 books specifically selected to appeal to middle school interests. Students will discover books that are entertaining, inspirational, and a resource for dealing with emerging emotions. We encourage you to discuss the Book Fair with your child to determine what books he or she may want to add to his or her personal collection. Please know that we will have a MATURE READERS case this year and each family should decide if these books would match your reading needs.
The Book Fair will be OPEN from 7:40am-4:00pm, Monday through Friday! Come browse and find books that can help your child stay connected with reading. With shopping comes responsibility, so please talk to your student about placing newly purchased materials in lockers to prevent theft. At our Fair, we will also have a Classroom Wish List board on display for anyone interested in helping our teachers add more books to their classroom library shelves. Classroom libraries reinforce positive learning environments and provide all students with greater access to books.
We hope the Book Fair will be a big success. All money earned from the Book Fair will go toward purchasing
new signage for the library. We look forward to seeing you at the book carnival! STEP UP AND READ!

Sincerely,
Becki Hutchison, School Librarian
