We are happy to announce that it is time once again for our school’s annual Scholastic Book Fair. Participation in the book fair provides a wonderful opportunity to encourage literacy and the pleasure of reading with students. All proceeds from the book fair will be used to purchase new books for our school’s library.Location
School Library
Dates
March 16, 8:30-9:00 am, 2:00-4:00 pm
March 17, 8:30-9:00 am, 3:00-4:00 pm
March 18, 8:30-9:00 am, 3:00-4:00 pm
Sales of $1500-$3000 allow the school to take 50% of the total profits to purchase new books. Sales under $1500 allow the school to take 25% of the total profits to purchase new books. Last year our school made $1363 in sales and in 2009 our school made $1600 in sales.
It is our school’s goal to sell at least $1500 in books so that we can take advantage of the 50% return. Please think of the book fair as a great place to buy birthday presents, early Christmas presents, etc. A chart will be posted near the office so everyone can follow our school’s progress.
This year, the book fair will also feature a special preschool module with books that are great for preschoolers. We know there are lots of little brothers and sisters who will enjoy these books.
PRIZE DRAW
All purchases made by families of the school on Wednesday and Thursday of the book fair will entitle the purchasers to enter a draw to win $25 worth of books for that student and $25 worth of books for that student’s teacher. Families buying books for more than one child will be given an entry ticket for each child. The draw will be done on Friday, March 18th so that the student can come to the library and select their prize books. Purchases made on the Friday will not be eligible for the draw.
In addition, all students of Dr. A.R. Lord will be entered in a draw to win a book. On the last day of the book fair, one student from each division will win a pre-selected book from the fair.
Please note: If there is a book at the book fair that has sold out, payment can be made for that book and then that book will be delivered to the school after the book fair has ended (after spring break).
The book fair will accept cash, cheque and mastercard/visa payments.
We are very excited about the fair and can’t wait to see everyone there!
Sincerely,
Dr. A. R. Lord Parents Advisory Council
