The annual Fall Book Fair is in full swing at FA. Today is the final full day. This is a wonderful opportunity for FA Community to add to their personal book collections or share the gift of reading with a loved one.
Earlier in the week, JK-5 students were given the opportunity to browse the shelves of the book fair with classroom teachers. Each student had the opportunity to make a “wish list”. These titles have been written down with the assistance of a teacher, parent, or 5th grade volunteer on behalf of your child. You are under no obligation to purchase anything on this list. In fact, you are encouraged to come and browse the fair on your own or with your child. The wish list is to help those parents who want to purchase books and may not have the opportunity to come in person because of other obligations. In that case, feel free to send a check made out to FA or cash with your student. The school book store account, and credit/debit cards are also accepted.
Lower School and Middle School Faculty have also done “wish lists” for their classroom libraries. If you would like to donate a book to your child’s classroom library, please look for the “Teacher Wish List” tri-board. If they did not get a chance to make a list, consider a gift certificate in the amount of $5, 10, or $$30 denominations.
You also have the opportunity to allow your student to pre-order the eleventh title in the popular “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series, Double Down. It will be released on Tuesday, November 1st. If you would like to order this book, please let us know. We will take pre-paid orders and Mrs. Atkins will deliver your child’s book on November 1st.
Due to the wide variety books available at the book fair, only 2-3 copies of many books are available. If you or your student do not see a particular book, you may order it. The book fair company will send or ship to FA at the end of the book fair. Mrs. Atkins will deliver the book to your child as soon as it is available. Pre-paid back-orders are for any item in the book fair inventory for teachers and students.
Thank you to the FA Community for supporting the school and encouraging the love of reading.
The book fair hours for the rest of the week are:
This afternoon until 4pm
Friday; 8am-12pm
