The annual book fair will be held from Monday, April 14th through Thursday April 17, from 9:00am-12 Noon. Extended hours on Thursday, April 17, 3:00-7:00pm.
Scholastic Books has many great, affordable books and
Food for Thought Books provides an excellent array of multicultural books for children and adults.
Ellare Books is a local home-run book store that offers numerous educational books, activity books, hardcovers and softcovers at at least 50% off the cover price. It's a great time of year to pick up some books for birthdays, April vacation reading and of course to stock up on summer reading!
Families are always welcome to visit the Book Fair with their child's class or at any other time. If you can't make it to the fair, you can send your child with cash in an envelope or a
check made payable to Fort River Parent Council. If you choose to send a check, please designate on the memo line a maximum amount available for book purchases. 5% sales tax is added to the price of all purchases. Credit/Debit cards are also accepted.
Those who would like to donate to the
Scholarship Fund may leave money at the Cashier's Table. The Fund is used to assure that every Fort River student goes home from the book fair with at least one book.
Teacher wish lists will be at the Cashier's Table if you are interested in making a purchase for a teacher or a donation to the Fort River Library.
Your children will be coming home with a schedule of class visits to help you plan your child's time at the fair.
We have some parent volunteers but can always use more. If you would like to volunteer for a 2 or 3 hour block, please contact Diane Caraker at
Dianec711@comcast.net or 253-4191.
Thank you for making the Fort River book fair a success year after year and continuing to foster you child's love for reading!
