Great Parent Turn Out for Book Fair After 1st 2008-2009 FALP


Following this morning's first Parents As Learning Partners event of 2008-2009, the turnout was terrific for the Scholastic Book Fair Parents Pre-Sale. The fresh-baked homemade coffee cake, banana and pumpkin breads - graciously donated by A Little Something By Nina - were decidedly NCLB (No Crumbs Left Behind)!

Please note:
  • The fair is open today (Friday) until 6 PM.
  • Family Shopping Hours tomorrow, Saturday, October 4th, are from 8:30-3:30 PM. 
  • Teachers visited the fair yesterday to create their own classroom wish lists, which are posted on the walls beside the fair cashier's desk. 
Thanks so much for supporting the fair!! To see more information about the fair's hours, and to browse the selection, please visit our own PS 29 Scholastic Book Fair web page.

For exact times of class visits, please refer to the double-sided letter that went home in backpack mail this week from the event co-chairs, Jeanmarie Giordano and Claudia Bedrick.

To volunteer for a time slot (mounting a book fair open so many days to accommodate nearly 700 children requires many helping hands!), please email Jeanmarie. For parents new to the school, the fair is a great launch pad for involvement in the school community!
