Dear Parents and Families:
Reading is the most important skill you can teach a child. Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can influence the most. We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives. Our Scholastic Book Fair theme - Book Fair Fiesta: ¡Yo Quiero Libros! ¡Vamos a Leer! (I Want Books! Let's Go Read!) –surrounds students in the celebration of reading with hundreds of fun, engaging, affordable books for them to discover. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they’ll get. Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they’re young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent’s direct involvement in his/her child’s education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair. Hope to see you there! Book Fair Dates: February 26 – March 4 Shopping Hours: 8:30 – 2:30 most days Special Events: Family Shopping – February 26, 1:30 – 5:00 Before you visit the Book Fair be sure to download the FREE Book Fairs App to help you find the right fit books for your child. For more information, visit: scholastic.com/apps/bookfairs. And if you’re all booked up during Book Fair week be sure to visit the Book Fair online at http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/mountainpark. Our Online Fair is available for an extended time from February 16 to March 8. All profits go directly to the Media Center to purchase new books. Because this is a fundraiser, there will be no refunds or exchanges unless the item is damaged. Please encourage your child to shop wisely and include a note to your child’s teacher or the Book Fair Volunteers if money needs to be spent on specific items. Finally, please consider purchasing a book for your teacher's classroom libraries. Teachers’ wish cards will be available at the book fair, on the Classroom Wish Board, or gift certificates may be purchased in any amount for teachers to spend at the book fair. We accept cash, credit cards and checks; however, checks must be made out to SCHOLASTIC. We look forward to having you participate in our Fair, and remember, all purchases benefit our school. |
