Thanks for supporting literacy and bringing books back to Good Shepherd Learning Academy!
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 Cherie Ko at cherie_ko@yahoo.com or Karina Arabolaza at kaarabolaza@gmail.com with your questions.
Book Fair Student Wish List
Students in grades Kindergarten through fourth will complete their Wish List on November 7-9 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 Cherie Ko at cherie_ko@yahoo.com or Karina Arabolaza at kaarabolaza@gmail.com with your volunteer questions.
