Mrs. Nelson’s Book Fair offers a wonderful selection of diverse reading material for students and their families. The Book Fair kicks off on Friday, August 24. Money earned from this Book Fair will go directly to enriching the educational experience of every student while also supporting Short Avenue’s Friends and Family library Media Center. Look for the Book Fair flyer in your child’s homework folder this week.
WIN A BOOK
There will be a golden ticket drawing to win books or posters. Every student will be given the opportunity to win a book and will receive one golden ticket. Students must deposit the ticket into the collection container when they visit the Book Fair. There will be 25 winners!
SCHEDULE
The Book Fair runs from Friday, August 24 through Thursday, August 30 at 1:00pm. Students and teachers will preview the Fair on Thursday, August 23. We are open during recess (10:20-10:45am) and lunch (12-12:50pm), and after school daily for 1/2 hour, plus Back-to-school night on Tuesday August 28 from 5:00-6:30pm.

DID YOU KNOW…
All profits directly benefit every student at Short Avenue while also supporting the library. Our library needs major resources. 68% of our library collection is considered aged (with most books 30-40 years old) and prior to 2014 more than $25,000 in books were lost. We are 42% under the recommended amount of books for elementary school students. Every Book Fair purchase helps our students and our school!
