We recently finished our online Scholastic Book Fair- and WOW! Our school families purchased 238 books, which gave us $518 of rewards to spend on our library! With the $500+ and a generous donation of $200, I was able to buy over 50 brand new books for our students! I felt like I was on an exciting shopping spree!
During the fair, I visited classrooms & showed book trailers and the Scholastic website. Students made wish lists- one for themselves, and one for the library. They helped me compile their "top picks" of books to buy with the rewards we earned. We had a LONG list- but I am so excited to say, we purchased every book on our wish list! And in a few cases, we even purchased two copies (ex. The very popular Dog Man books!)
Thank you to all the school families who supported our book fair, and also the teachers & parents who encouraged me during my first ever book fair as Library teacher! I look forward to hosting another one soon- and hopefully we can have an in-person fair as well.
Happy Reading!
