Scholastic Book Fair a Success!

Student’s from Mr. Duffy’s Gr. 4 classroom

This year’s Scholastic Book Fair earned nearly $2000 in profit for our school Library Media program!  This money will add both new books and new furnishings to our Library Media classroom.

The Fair was well attended; our Family Night brought in many families shopping for books to add to both their home libraries and to the classroom libraries in our school.

In addition to the profit earned from the Fair, our school community very generously provided new books to our classrooms via the Book Donation feature of the Fair.  Mr. Duffy’s name was selected from the “Books for Your Classroom” raffle drawing this year.  Above, (4) student representatives from his classroom  selected  books from the Fair to add to Mr. Duffy’s classroom library.

Many thanks to the parent volunteers who donated their time to set up the Fair, work at the Fair, and pack it up at Fair’s end.
