Book Fair – Only Two Days Left!

As you know, the book fair is going on all this week until Friday, then it will be gone faster than the drumsticks on your Christmas turkey! Students will have a scheduled visit with their class, but they can also come during recess and lunch every day. We really appreciate your support this far, but we are far away from our goal. Reading for pleasure helps our students become lifelong readers and learners, and this fair is a great place to find some great books! 

Please have a look at our online shop and consider supporting us there. (https://virtualbookfairs.scholastic.ca/pages/5184696) It is also a great place to find some Christmas gifts from the comfort of your own home! There is free shipping on all online orders as they will be delivered right to the school. We will contact you when they arrive. 

Happy reading!

See you at the fair!

Scholastic Book Fair

Get Ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them to become Bolder, Prouder, and Stronger Readers. AND—as always—every book they buy earns Rewards for our school.   

Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place next week from Monday, November 28, to Friday December 2, in the MDJH Library.

  • Students can visit the fair during recess and lunch on their own, and with their homeroom. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jqhA_r0hny1zXgg4N9Ik7IFWFbDx8t1HbdanXpa6lVo/edit?usp=sharing)
  • School is closed on Tuesday for Teacher PD, but the MDJH 25th Anniversary Open House will be on that night from 6-8, and you are invited to visit with your family at that time.
  • If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Virtual Book Fair. All orders ship directly to our school, and we will arrange for a pickup time when they arrive. Your online orders will also benefit our school.
