Irving Book Fair – Monday, October 7th through Friday, October 11th

Hours:  M-Th from dismissal until 6:30 p.m., Friday from dismissal until 11:45 a.m.

It’s a Reading Oasis! An amazing selection of books is headed our way! We will be accepting pre-orders for Diary of a Wimpy Kid 8, which will be released on November 3rd (students will receive forms and book fair flyers the week before the sale). On Tuesday, October 8th we will be receiving the latest in the Percy Jackson series, The House of Hades.  Teacher wish lists will be available at the sale to help build classroom libraries.
On Thursday, October 10th at 1:00, our very own Queen of the Nile, Ms. Noonan will grace our fair with a special book reading for students. Enter a land of pyramids, deserts, and palm trees. All participants will be entered in a raffle to win a free poster from Scholastic.

If you can’t make it to our fair, the online book fair runs from October 10-October 30. It’s a great way to get your holiday shopping done early or find a special gift for a special teacher! http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/washingtonirvingelemschool1

We need volunteers to help work the fair during classroom preview hours and the sale.  We’d love to have you, even if you only have 45 minutes to spare at dismissal!

Thanks!
