We hope your family can support this very worthwhile cause.

The book fair will subsequently be open Thursday to Thursday before school, lunch time and after school.


Items are available for sale from as low as $1. The school receives a commission from the book fair based on sales. In 2011 the library received over $1000 worth of books and resources as a result of our sales. Your support is greatly appreciated. Students will be taking home a brochure indicating some of the items available at the book fair. Students will also be able to preview items the week before the sale starts.


I suggest students, that you start saving your
