The Fall Book Fair will take place from
Tuesday, December 2 through Friday, December 5th
9:00am-12:00noon
Extended hours during Pizza Pick-Up Day, Friday, Dec. 5th from 3:00pm-7:00pm.
It's a great time of year to pick up some books for the holidays, special occasions and of course winter vacation, all while helping to support the many activities offered by the Fort River Parent Council.
Families are always welcome to visit the Book Fair with their child's class or at any other time that we are open. 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.
If you are interested in making a purchase for a specific teacher or for the Fort River Library, wish lists will be at the Cashier's Table to help with your selection. Also, anybody who would like to donate to the Scholarship Fund can leave money at the Cashier's Table. (This fund is used to assure that every Fort River student goes home from the book fair with a least one book.)
Also, Scholastic Books, Food for Thought Books, and Ellare Books (a local home run book store) provide an excellent selection of books for both children and adults--fiction and non-fiction, science fiction, multicultural, educational, and activity books all at very reasonable prices!
VOLUNTEERS: If you would like to volunteer to work at the book fair, please contact Diane Caracker at Dianec711@comcast.net.
Thank you all for making the Fort River Book Fair a success year after year and continuing to foster your child's love for reading!
