Please send money for the fair in an envelope or baggie with your child's name and the homeroom teacher's name. We can accept cash or checks made out to Elkhorn Elementary. There is no tax on the book fair total.
You can also access the book fair on-line to order books. You can use your student’s wish list to help you make your order. These will be shipped to the school. There is no difference in cost and the shipping is free. Visit our school website and look under the links for Book Fair.

The book fair will also have pencils, pens, bookmarks and posters. The pencils and bookmarks are .50. Some of the pens can be as much as $3.00. The posters are $4.50. Please discuss with your student how much they should spend on these extras.
Our purpose in hosting the Book Fair is help the students develop a home library and to acquire new books for our library.
Thank-you in advance for supporting our Book Fair this year! Please let your child's teacher or me know if you have any questions about the Book Fair.
See you at the Book Fair!
