The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Barkers Mill Elementary September 17-25 (see previous Book Fair post for more details). Please check out this amazing program titled "Share the Fair" and consider contributing to help promote literacy for all of our Bobcats. We truly appreciate your consideration.

"Share the Fair is the giving program built into the Scholastic Book Fair, empowered by contributions from people like you! These funds support students at our school who need help getting new books. Your contribution helps even more kids take home a book from the Fair—and experience the all-the-feels, read-past-lights-out rush that we call 'Bookjoy.'"

Get ready....the Scholastic Book fair is coming to Barkers Mill Elementary, September 17-25! This is a great opportunity to build your child's home library with new books that they'll dive into again and again. The easiest way to let your child shop the fair independently is by creating an eWallet. It's easy to set up and easy for others to add funds. For full details on the fair, and to create an eWallet, visit our school's book fair homepage: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/barkersmillelementaryschool

Happy Reading!
