Book Fair Safari Update

Hello Coyotes!
Our book fair has been running for a week already and it's been going very well. Congratulations to Mrs. Hart's class who won our Book Fair Bingo! They will recieve a book of their choice for the classroom library and a popcorn party with a volunteer to read from the book while they munch!
The turnout so far is amazing and today we will get the last few classes through to view the books we have and get a chance to buy. Watch for those wishlists to come home with your child, you will have two more opportunities to shop our book fair:

Friday October 24th from 6 pm - 8 pm during Family Art Night
There will be art projects sponsored by our Art Docent program, including products you can purchase through Kid Kreations and have turned into gifts and keepsakes. There will also be free projects for the kids to work on. We will be displaying our creative coyotes amazing Reflections art work and these will be judged tonight. We will have special guest judges coming in, including Dr. Tony Apostle the Superintendent of Schools, as well as Cheryl Child, the PTA Region 5 Director, and many more community members that will be donating their time for our students.

Saturday October 25th from 9 am - 11 am Breakfast with Books!
Enjoy a light breakfast while Mrs. Peterson, our Carson librarian, reads aloud from select book fair books. There will also be a visit from Curious George! This will be your last chance to shop our book fair until the Spring.

We have currently sold over $6,000 worth of books which means a LOT of books and supplies for our school. Our goal is $10,000 which we hope to earn during our family events. We have also raised over $100 with our One-for-Books donations which will go directly to supporting our Accelerated Reader program and will be used to purchase over 25 tests. We would love to get that up to 100 tests so donate your spare change or loose dollars and that will really add up! For every dollar we raise, Scholastic will match that with book donations to charity organizations, it's a great program where everbody wins.

We hope to see you at one of our fun family events. The students love to share their school with their family!

Volunteers are still needed for these events. If you have an hour or two you could donate, please contact Sarah Foreman at volunteer@carsonpta.org or Susannah Youngquist at vpevents@carsonpta.org or just stop by the book fair today!

THANK YOU!!!!
