Book Fair is Under Way
Our annual Scholastic Book Fair kicks off Monday and continues through Friday, March 10th, in the C Space. Students will visit the fair during their regularly scheduled media class. They also will have the opportunity to shop in the mornings from 7:15-7:40 a.m. Students who would like to shop in the morning before school must first report to their homeroom teacher to get a book fair pass.
Book Fairy Drive Raises Over $1,000
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Book Fairy Drive! Together, we raised more than $1,000 in just five days!
Donations to the Book Fairy program (officially known as All for Books) give underprivileged students a chance to shop at book fair. Additionally, Scholastic matches our All for Books donations in the form of book donations to various literacy groups. Way to go, West Lake families!
