GO ON A BOOKFAIR SAFARI!
PTO SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR IS COMING
Monday, October 20– Thursday, October 30
The Scholastic Fall Book Fair, themed “Book Fair Safari,” will soon
be arriving. The book fair is sponsored by the Challenger/Discovery PTO.
Beginning Monday, October 20, we will be open during normal school hours.
During Conferences, we will follow the hours of school conferences.
As a special part of the book fair, we will be participating in Scholastic’s
One-for-Books Promotion. A donation jar will be placed near the check-out
register. Students and parents can donate loose change to the One-for-Books
Promotion. Scholastic will match the total collected in books of
equal value, which will be selected from the Book Fair by Debra Cooksey,
Functional Applied Academics Special Education Teacher, and Abbra Fussell,
Structured Learning Special Education Teacher. These selected titles
will be placed in Cooksey’s and Fussell’s classrooms for use by their special
education classes.
Challenger/Discovery Librarian Marsha Wells stated, “We are so happy
to be sharing the profit from the One-For-Books promotion with the classes
of Debra Cooksey and Abbra Fussell. Our school certainly needs additional
books for our special education students.” In addition, Scholastic
sends that amount of cash in the donation container to Kids in Distressed
Situations, Inc., The National Center for Family Literacy, and the Marine
Toys for Tots Foundation.
Parents can call Marsha Wells, Librarian, in the library at 794-4231
if they have questions about the book fair. Come and Join the Book
Fair Safari. We are looking forward to visiting with you and your
children.
