Literati Book Fair! - Tuesday, October 22 - Thursday, October 24

 

It's that time of year again....the Literati Book Fair is coming! We're so excited for your students to join us for an intergalactic adventure at the in-person fair from October 22-24, or shop online here

 

Each class will have the opportunity to shop the book fair during school, and we hope you can join us for our Family Night event Thursday, October 24 after school for stories, crafts, sports trivia with prizes, and more starting at 3:15.

 

Browse the online fair here to get a sneak peek at some of the available titles, make a wishlist to share with family, or buy a gift card to make shopping at school easier. Orders purchased online before October 27th will be added to our school's book fair earnings and be shipped to the school at the end of book fair week. 

 

Note: Buying a gift card ahead of time for your child is the easiest way for them to shop the fair - we have a list of all gift cards purchased to help them along.

 

New this year, our school's online Literati store will remain open even after our fair ends, so gift card balances can be used any time for online ordering shipped to your home. 

 

As always, we can't make events like this happen without your support. If you are able, please visit our volunteer sign-up to sign up for a shift.
