Book Fair
The Shimek Elementary Book Fair is almost here! The book fair will be set up in the ELP Room from November 12-16th. It will be open for an hour after school each day, during the Fall Supper on Thursday 11/15, and all day during conferences on Friday 11/16. Stop in and purchase a book from your teacher's wish list, buy some books for the holidays, and support the Shimek Library. We look forward to seeing you there!
To make this year as successful as possible, we need your help! Please consider signing up to help us set up or tear down, or supervise the book fair after school, during one of the fall conference shifts, or during the fall supper. If you haven't helped out before, no fear, there will be someone around to help make sure everything runs smoothly! We need your involvement to make this the best book fair yet!
