The Book Fair is coming to WMES…       and YOU are invited!

 

Dear Parents/ Caregivers,

 

Now more than ever, reading is vital to leading a better life. Knowing how to read is just the beginning. Motivating young people to keep reading, comprehend what they read and develop the ability to think creatively are the end goals.

 

Scholastic Book Fairs is coming to our school next week during Parent/Teacher meetings. All students will be visiting the Book Fair with their class on Tuesday, December 3rd. They will be given a Scholastic Flyer at this time to bring home and share. Any student who wishes to buy from the Book Fair will have an opportunity on the morning of Friday, Dec. 6th. For your convenience, the Book Fair will also be open for shopping during Parent/Teacher meetings Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. 

 

The Book Fair is a valuable fundraiser that helps keep our library resources current and relevant. The school keeps up to 40% of all sales for the purchase of new resources for our library! 

 

Hope to see you there!

Mrs. Dey
