Monday, September 22nd - Friday, September 26th:
- It's Scholastic Book Fair Week! Brought to you by the PTO
- Teachers take their classes to visit the book fair during the school day, and students can also visit during their recess and after lunch.
- You can shop WITH your students before school (7:45 AM - 8:30 AM) or after school (1:24 PM - 2:30 PM)! And of course at Evening at the Book Fair on Thursday evening (details below)!
- What we ask of YOU (the parents):
- Provide your student(s) with either cash to bring to school to shop, OR load their "e-wallet" with Scholastic. If they have funds on their e-wallet, they simply tell our volunteers their name, and they will be able to shop with that credit.
- Make sure your student knows which method of payment they will be using. Our teachers are not always aware of who has funds on their e-wallet and who plans to use cash.
- Volunteer with us for a shift! Shifts run throughout the school day in short blocks - and it's fun!
- Consider picking up an extra book to donate to kids hospitalized at CHOC as we support Ethan & Choco's Book Club! There will be a donation box at checkout - let your student know or drop one in yourself! (Did you know Ethan is a TUSD student!? We're so proud of him and honored to support his Book Club!)
- Did you receive a Scholastic Gift card as part of your PTO membership incentive? Remember, this card should be treated like cash - please bring it to the book fair - our Book Fair team can not look up your name or replace lost cards.
Thursday, September 25th:
- Evening at the Book Fair: shop the Scholastic Book fair AND the Husky Gear pop up shop as a family from 4:30 - 7:30 PM! Pizza, drinks and snacks available for sale too - make a night of it!
