The Book Fair is Almost Here

Your children have likely come home with a flyer highlighting some of the books available at the Book Fair. They may have also started their Wish Lists. The students will be visiting the Book Fair with their homeroom teachers on either Thursday or Friday of this week. Students may bring money and make purchases at this time. Alternatively, they may also use this time to complete their Wish Lists and return to purchase at another time. The Book Fair will be open on Thursday evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in addition to Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 1 :00 p.m.  for special Family Shopping Hours. Please visit our Book Fair homepage for more information and a complete listing of hours.

Any questions, please contact Kristan Kelly at kelly96@sbcglobal.net

THANK YOU to all of you who shopped the SFX Book Fair. It was our most successful fair to-date. Thanks as well go to the SFX Student Council who donated the proceeds from one of their Turkey Gram days to the One For Books Program for St. Thomas. They raised over half the money needed to buy all of the books on St. Thomas’s Wish List! In January, we will be sending 94 new books to the students and teachers at St. Thomas. Also in January, another 395 new books will find their way into the SFX class rooms and library. School families graciously purchased 151 of these books, with the balance purchased through the Book Fair profits.

If that wasn't enough, there are profits credits available which will be directed as needed towards additional books for the library and special subjects. Thank you for your support of the Book Fair 2008.

• Friday, December 5 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Your kids can start their wish lists early by looking at the featured books on our very own SFX Book Fair webpage. The students will be seeing author videos in the library and classrooms this week so don't be surprised if they come home sharing what they have learned about our Book Fair authors!
