ONLINE USBORNE BOOK FAIR
Hi Families,
I hope that you enjoyed our recent Kids Camps with Usborne Books & More and our rep Carin over the last couple of months! I heard some great feedback about them- and please feel free to respond with additional feedback about the camps!
As you know, we aren't able to do an onsite book fair this Spring, but are excited that you can still order some books, resources and activities for your family through Usborne! Any books you order will be delivered directly to your house, rather than to school, but our program will still earn great free books for our classrooms! Ordering has been extended through this Wednesday. I hope that you plan to pick some great books up for your family if you haven't already!
Here's the direct link to shop: https://y6099.myubam.com/1534034
If you need any suggestions or help with your order, please reach out to Carin at carinbooks@gmail.com or 619-399-7764. Attached is also a great Make Learning Fun flier with a number of books perfect for preschoolers if you need some ideas for your family!
