Draft Figures for the English Book Fair Fund Raiser, Dec 4-8th, 2017

Great job everyone - we have a lot of purchasing power for some amazing books for the "200 Nights of Reading" celebrations in May and for more delicious purchases for our beloved Bastion Library Learning Commons.

Thank you to the thirteen parents and staff who helped with extremely busy sales times, poster set up and take down, supervision coverage, and "wrap it up and box it up" closure.  Thank you to all staff who did an amazing job promoting our 2nd book fair of the year.

Thank you to the many grade 5 Ss who helped set up the book fair, assisted young Ss counting money and making hard choices of what they could actually afford, keeping the fair tidy, and placing "last copy" on hundreds of books.

Lastly, thank you to all Ss, parents, and staff who made purchases and thus made our two Scholastic Book Fairs, once again, very successful.

Approx. $2560 earned in credit; $914 purchased from the fair by Ms. M-A = $1645 still to spend. 

We rock!
