Our fall Scholastic Book Fair with a Neverland theme is two weeks away and will run from November 15-24. All students and their family members will have opportunities to visit the fair on select days and can shop in person or online for books and gift items. The Book Fair organizers are also in need of volunteers to help with setup and pack up and to serve as shopping assistants.
“Last year’s Book Fair raised some $8,500 for our school library and classroom educational needs and we hope to surpass that goal this year,” said K-12 Computer Teacher Rhapsody Hahn-Chaney, who is overseeing the fair with Library Media Specialist Patti Scardilli. This year’s goal is to sell 1,250 books and raise $10,000, which will be used to buy teacher requested books for classrooms, books to lend students at the ACS Library, and a subscription to Scholastic News magazine for elementary students to enjoy at home.
Students will be visiting the school library from November 15-19 to preview the Book Fair items and create their “wish lists.” Product selection will include Scholastic books and stationery items, as well as Bibles, devotionals, and Christian books and gift items from the Truth That Rocks Bookstore in Northfield. A Scholastic Book Catalog will be sent home with PreK3-6th grade students. The Scholastic website also has the catalog of books and gift items to choose from.
