Irving Book Fair

It’s time for the Irving Book Fair
Monday, Oct 24 Thursday, Oct 27

We are looking for another great crew of volunteers this year! We need people for set up, stapling and collating flyers, supervising classroom visits, driving to Roselle to pick up a box of books from the warehouse each day, working public sales hours, watching volunteers’ kids on the playground, and packing up the sale. Even if you can only work an hour, we’d love to have you, especially at dismissal! We also need 4th and 5th grade volunteers after school to help with crowd control and bagging purchases.

Can’t come and help because of kids or your schedule? We have jobs you can do at home: making posters/decorations, baking treats for the teacher preview and our volunteers, or processing leftover teacher wish list items for the online book fair.  Just email Stephanie at gremlin44@gmail.com.

Our Book Fair is such a great success due to our wonderful volunteers! Our kids get so excited when they see the Book Fair truck pull up, and watching their enthusiasm as they select books is really heart warming.

If you have any questions, contact Stephanie Hartman, chair gremlin44@gmail.com.
