Spring Book Fair
Our annual book fair is upon us and for it to be successful WE NEED YOUR HELP! A book fair is
extremely important to our students! Without your help we will not be able to provide them with this
awesome opportunity to dive into adventure and help instill a love of reading. The book fair will be
held Monday, May 11- Thursday, May 14th. Any hours you can volunteer would be greatly appreciated!
Please open the Sign Up Genius link below to see the times, days and slots help is needed. There is a
comment section so if can only work a few of the hours slated please let me know.
Keep in mind this year the kids will be coming by class so there will be less children at once to reduce the
chaos. ANY time you can volunteer would be greatly appreciated by the students who LOVE the book fair!
THANK YOU!!! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0445afa723a75-book
