Dear Parents,

On Wednesday, April 20^th – Friday, April 22^nd, we will be hosting an Usborne Book Fair for spring.  

The goal of the book fair is to give our scholars the opportunity to purchase books for their personal library and promote reading during summer. It will also give the school an opportunity to add to its classroom and school libraries. The book fair will be held in the resource room, and it will run from 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. every day with an extended time period on Friday 22^nd until 8p.m during the Fine Arts and French event.  The book fair will open to parents at: 7:30-8:00am, 11:30a.m.-1:00p.m., and 2:45-5:00 p.m. We are very excited that the book fair will afford our scholars the opportunity to develop great reading habits and discover a genuine love of reading and learning. The quality and content of Usborne Books is phenomenal.  Profits from the book fair will go directly to children’s books for the Arete library.

 Students will be allowed to preview the books on Tuesday, April 19^th. They can make a wish list to take home, and then come back with you or their teacher to purchase the books.  You may send an envelope with some money so that your child can purchase books from the book fair.  Usborne accepts cash, check, and credit cards.  If you send a check with your child, it needs to be made out to our Usborne consultant, Kaycie Foster. Tax will be charged on all purchases, so take that into consideration when you are sending in cash with your child.

If you would like to purchase books to donate, the book fair has a wish list for each classroom and the school’s library.  For every book donated to the library, your child gets an opportunity to enter into a raffle to win a book daily. For the purchase of at least five books, you are entered into a raffle to win a book basket, daily. We look forward to seeing your scholars and our entire school benefit from this event. I will be available to take questions if you have
