See you at the Scholastic Book Fair this week in our library! Check out our friend Clifford and all the great book selections. There are lots of Pete the Cat, Barbie, Lego Ninjago, Dork Diaries and the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
If we buses are cancelled, then the Book Fair will continue on Monday, November 18th.
There is a great Family Event Book Prize and an opportunity to guess how many pages are in our “mummified” book. See you there!
Check out our Book Fair on Wednesday, June 12, Thursday, June 13th, and Friday, June 14th for the amazing Scholastic “Buy 1, Get 1 FREE” Book Fair. Everything is buy one, get one free. Look out for “Super Clifford” and other superheroes at our fair, in honour of the 10th Anniversary of the Family Day Picnic (formerly known as the Father’s Day Picnic) on Friday, June 14th. Think up your own superhero (or go to Superhero Name Generator), borrow a cape from an old costume, cut out a mask from felt, use paper to draw your own insignia on the front of a t-shirt! Lots of fun, inexpensive things to do to become your own Superhero for the day.
Keep your eye out for “Super Story Diva” and “Wonder Woman of Words”!
Thank you to all of our students, parents and staff who visited our Scholastic “Get a Charge Out of Reading” Book Fair. It was a huge success thanks to you and we received many new books and funds to support our upcoming literacy events. A GREAT BIG thanks to Mrs. Duck for running the Book Fair for three solid days! We couldn’t do it without you. Also many thanks to Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Westaway, Olivia, Mara and of course, the two STAR book fair students – Miranda and Maegan who organize the signs, announcements, set up and took care of our guest, Geronimo Stilton. Gavin B. and Mrs. H. Wallace were our big winners of the Book Event Draw – congratulations.
