For Book Fair’s 6th Annual Outreach Project, we’re replenishing books for the shelves of Divine Saviour Catholic School in Los Angeles. We encourage MJS families to visit the Outreach table at Book Fair, purchase a book for Divine Saviour, and get a personalized Peace, Love & Books nameplate in your donated book. Thanks for supporting literacy and bringing books back to Divine Saviour Catholic School!
Book Fair Student Accounts
A Student Account allows your student to participate in Book Fair independently, spending within a set budget. An account in lieu of carrying cash is beneficial, especially for Lower School students. When you complete and submit a Student Account form, credit card charges for your student’s Book Fair purchases are tracked. Email Karina Arabolaza at kaarabolaza@gmail.com or Cristina Romero at cmcromero76@yahoo.com with your questions.
Book Fair Student Wish List
Students in grades Kindergarten through fourth will complete their Wish List on November 12-15 during their class visit to Book Fair. Family and friends can view the Wish List so they can purchase items their student listed. Wish List items will not be charged to Student Accounts, and are to be purchased separately.
Book Fair Volunteers
Book Fair would not be possible without the generous time and commitment of our Library Committee and a wonderful ensemble of volunteers. Email Karina Arabolaza at kaarabolaza@gmail.com or Cristina Romero at cmcromero76@yahoo.com with volunteer questions.
