The Book Fair is Coming!

November 12th-15th

Your child will be visiting the book fair with his/her classroom during the school day. Families can also shop during Pajamas with the Principal on Wednesday, November 13 from 6:30-8:00. Pop on your pajamas and join Ms. Muller as she reads some favorite stories! Grades 1-2 at 6:30 and Grades 3-5 at 7:10

Consider setting up an e-wallet so your children can make cashless purchases on their own (similar to their lunch accounts). Please note that all purchases have to be taxed. If your family needs financial assistance shopping at the book fair, please contact Mrs. Downey at the front office.
