Our annual book fair raises over $7,000 towards books for classrooms and the media center--plus, the students love it! The success is largely dependent upon volunteer help, so we hope you can join us.
No experience is needed. Middle school students are welcome for general assistance, and you can tote along your Earhart student if they would like to help as well. The schedule is subject to change depending on volunteer support.
As a show of thanks, each volunteering family will receive one 20% discount towards their Book Fair purchases!
Here is the general schedule for this year's book fair, which will be held in Pod 4:
