Scholastic Book Fair!

It’s time for the Scholastic Book Fair again! For all book sales the school receives a portion of the profits, which allows us to purchase new books for the library, and for teachers to have books in their classrooms. The Book Fair will run from Thursday, February 23rd through Tuesday, March 7th after school from 2:30-3:30 pm. The Book Fair will be open all day during Parent-Teacher Conferences if there are enough parent volunteers to help. If you are interested in volunteering to help run the book fair during open hours or to help set up the book fair after school, please contact Kirsten Mason at 907.315.7753 or sign up on the sheet that will be posted on the library door.
