The fall Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Oak Brook November 10-14!. Check out this Book Fair homepage to preview books and set up an eWallet for your children. The eWallet is a digital payment account allowing you to fund your child's purchases in advance.

Students will visit the library twice this week, first to preview and make a wish list and second to purchase. Here is the schedule of days and times your child will go. The Book Fair will be open to families during conferences Tuesday, November 11 from 2:45-4:30 and Thursday November 13 from 2:45-7:45.

The Book Fair needs several volunteers to help throughout the week. Please use this link to sign up to volunteer. In order to volunteer, a background check will need to be completed if you haven't done so this school year. Thanks in advance for your help!

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Thanks!

Volunteer to Help

Let us help with dinner planning. Please see below for upcoming fundraisers at local restaurants. These restaurants donate money directly back to our PTO to support our students.

This week we will focus on stewardship. We define stewardship as taking responsibility for your environment. We work to help our students understand that your goal should be to leave every area you enter better than you found it. That looks like cleaning up (even if something isn't yours) and taking accountability for making our daily living spaces (and our world) better than they were before you were there. Please take time to talk with your child this week about how he/she can show good stewardship at home, at school and in the community. When practiced on a daily basis, small acts can make a big difference.
