Dear Families of Silver Stream Public School,
We are pleased to announce the arrival of The Scholastic
Book Fair which will run from Tuesday September 27th-Friday September 30th! The
fair is Pirate-themed encouraging our Bookaneers to stop by and find their
favourite treasures; books.
Our Teacher-Librarian, Mr. Maisel, is looking for parent
volunteers throughout the week. If you are interested in helping out, please
email him directly at david.maisel@yrdsb.ca.
The Book Fair will be open during Curriculum Night
(operating from 5:30-8:30) and will be a great opportunity for families to stop
by and support the school! Our goal is to raise $3,000. The more we raise, the
more Scholastic gives our library back in new resources! There will be a Family
Event that night in which you can enter your child’s
name into a draw for a chance for them to win $25 worth of product for
themselves and $25 for their classroom! The name will be picked at school the
next morning.
There will be books, posters, school supplies and more
available for purchase! Flyers will be sent out on Friday. There are wishlists
on the back of the flyers (JK-Gr. 5) that students can come in and fill out
with their classes on “Browsing Day”
Tuesday. This will help you get an idea of what your children want and how much
it will cost. Additionally, teachers will have wishlists for their classrooms.
Parents are welcome to buy any books on the wishlist as a donation to the
classroom.
Furthermore, we are holding two school-wide contests.
1) Book Cover Contest - Students can draw an original cover
for their favourite book - Prize - $30 towards Book Fair product. Please make sure they include their first and
last name with their teacher’s name and
submit it to the library.
2) Your child can come to school dressed as a Pirate on the
first day of sales, Wednesday September 28th. The best-dressed Pirate will be
announced the next day - Prize - $30 towards Book Fair product. **Please do
not send any type of weapons with their costumes –
For example: Swords, guns & hooks**
We look forward to a great week of
fun and reading!
