Shimek Elementary PTO
ANNUAL BOOK FAIR and FALL SUPPER!
We will hold our annual Scholastic Book Fair from Monday, November 18 through Friday, November 22, 2019, located at Shimek Elementary in the ELP Room. In addition, the Shimek Fall Supper will be on the evening of Tuesday, November 19 from 5:00-6:30pm in the Shimek gym. The Book Fair will remain open on the evening of the Fall Supper until 7pm. In addition, the Book Fair will be open during that week on Mon, Wed, and Friday from 2:55-3:55pm, Thursday from 1:55-2:55pm, and Tuesday Nov. 19 all day from 8:00am-7:00pm. Attending and buying books at the Shimek PTO Scholastic Book Fair is a great way to encourage reading and help support our school. A percentage from each dollar you spend at the fair comes back to Shimek. As a result, the Shimek Media Center is able to purchase new books and supplies that enhance the educational experiences of Shimek students. Hope you can come out and support these events!!
