Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. A love of independent reading boosts academic success, plus children who read more frequently also report improved mental health.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair, which will take place during Parent/Teacher Conferences on February 19th from 4:30pm - 7:45pm and February 25th from 8:00am - 9:00am and 4:30pm - 7:45pm. Please note the book fair will only be available during TWO of the conference dates. We will also have the fair open on February 21st for our special Grand Person event from 8:15am - 9:15am. Please note your student must come with you to the grand event. We will also be open on February 21st and 25th for student recess sales.
There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/oakviewelementaryschool4
While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds. When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.
Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
