Dear Families,

Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair will take place from Monday, March 31st

to Friday, April 4th.

As in the past, we have the opportunity to bring more books to our students and classrooms. Scholasticcalls it “All for Books™! By donating money to All for Books, you can help connect more kids with booksthey want to read. Helping out is simple. Just send a donation of any amount and this form with yourchild’s name and class. All of the money collected goes directly to purchasing books for our school’slibrary.

We will display the student’s name at our Book Fair. In appreciation of their efforts, the two classes thatcontribute the most money will be treated to a celebration during their media special.

The All for Books money we collect also helps readers beyond our school and community. ScholasticBook Fairs matches monetary donations with a donation of up to one million books to two non-profitorganizations dedicated to helping children, families, and teachers acquire books and educationalresources — Kids In Need Foundation and Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc.

On behalf of the PTA and Book Fair Committee, THANK YOU!
