Book Fair Volunteers Needed!

We need your help! Be a volunteer!
The Scholastic Book Fair will be arriving soon, and we’re excited about sharing the joy of reading with our students. We invite you to participate in this year’s Scholastic Book Fair from December 2-5 by volunteering.
Scholastic Book Fairs gives our school the opportunity to bring families, teachers, students, and books together. It’s the ultimate book event! Additionally, a portion of the sales benefits our school library. It’s the best way to raise funds while encouraging kids to read.
Being a part of something special is easier than you think. There are lots of ways to volunteer. We need people in a variety of areas, including setting up our Book Fair and table displays (November 29) to create a terrific bookstore environment, greeting customers at the door and working at our Cashier Table and helping students and shoppers select just the right books (December 2-5).
If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about our Scholastic Book Fair, please contact: Beth Power, (bethpower@nlesd.ca) or 753-8240 ext 231.
Thank you in advance for helping to make our students lifelong readers – we couldn’t do it without your participation.
