Book Fair
October 23, 2012We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives.
Our Scholastic Book Fair theme – All Star Book Fair: Every Reader is a Star!- is part of an exciting reading event that brings to school a wonderful selection of fun, engaging, and affordable books kids want to read. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they’ll get.
Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they’re young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parents direct involvement in his/her child’s education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair. Hope to see you there!
Book Fair Dates: Wednesday, November 7 – Thursday November 15
Shopping Hours: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Online Book Fair: November 5th-16th at http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/walnutcreek
