Fall Book Fair is September 11th-15th
We are planning our Fall Book Fair for September 11th-15th, 2017. September 8th will be Teacher Preview Day. Look for book fair order forms in Tuesday folders!
The library will be closed to check out during the week of our book fair. Classes will have scheduled times to create wish lists and a shopping day. Ask your student's teacher for their scheduled shopping time.
Fall Book Fair will be open on Grandparents Day on September 15th. After celebrating, make sure grandparents stop by the book fair before they leave campus that day!
Online ordering for our book fair begins September 8th and will run until September 28th. Online orders will be mailed to the school and delivered to your student. For more information and to order online, visit our Paloma Creek Scholastic Book Fair webpage at
