The Fall Book Fair is Coming!
Join us for our Enchanted Forest Book Fair 11/6-11/16
Fall Enchanted Forest Book Fair
We are so excited to be bringing our Fall Book Fair to Doherty. We love to see kids get excited about books and reading, and we know how a Book Fair can help to do just that!
- We need your help! Volunteers are the key to our success at the Book Fair. Consider helping during your child's class or more! The link to our Sign Up Genius is HERE. Our times of greatest need are in the middle of the day when there is no para support.
- Can't make it into Doherty? Our Online Book Fair is open from October 31- November 20. Orders placed before our school fair starts will ship with the fair.
- We have exciting events planned for our Fall Book Fair including Books with Bagels, Late Night for Conferences, and our Principal Pick
- We will be participating in the amazing Scholastic All for Books program again this year. Students are encouraged to color a picture that will be posted in the school and bring in at least $1 to donate. We use the money we raise to buy books for a local elementary school, and Scholastic matches the money we raise and buys books for schools in the hurricane zones.
Our Principal Pick
Every Book Fair, Mr. Long chooses an amazing book to unite the school around reading. This time, Mr. Long has chosen:
Try A Little Kindness
by Henry Cole
Every student who purchases the book will get to be in a photo with Mr. Long, and the top three participating classes will have Mr. Long come to their room and read to them.

All For Books
Once again, we are participating in the amazing Scholastic All for Books program. Students will have the opportunity to color a picture to be posted at school and donate at least $1. All the money raised here will be used to buy books for a local elementary school, and Scholastic matches all money raised and is using it to buy books for schools in areas hit by the recent hurricanes. We have many more prizes for this Book Fair's All for Books.
- The class with the highest participation gets 10 free books for the teacher and a free book for each student
- Every student who brings in at least $2 picks from the prize tree
- Every student who brings in at least $5 spins the prize wheel
Thank You!
We cannot thank you enough for your support of our iCenter. Last year's book fairs were so successful, we were able to purchase many new books, LED light tables, LEGO tables, iPad tables, a book repair machine, and more through the Scholastic catalog. Scholastic offers an amazing pay back structure if we take it all in Scholastic Dollars (which we can spend in their catalog). We love the book fairs as a fundraiser, because they get kids excited about books, we love to make sure every child can take a book home, and you are supporting our iCenter and our students as readers without spending any more than you would in another book store -- Win, Win, Win!
We are still working on our DonorsChoose project to get iPads to put in those amazing new tables. Any amount is appreciated - you can click HERE to donate.
