Hello JP,
A flyer will be coming home with your kiddos with information regarding next week’s Scholastic Book Fair, taking place Oct. 14-18, 2024. The flyer has a few important reminders:
- Monday and Tuesday are browsing days. Students come in with their class and - with help from teachers, aides and Book Fair volunteers - fill out a wish list that they bring home
- You will send the wish list back with them, identifying the books you are comfortable with purchasing, along with money to pay for the books. We accept both cash, check and Scholastic E-wallet. Checks can be made payable to JP PTO - memo line Book Fair.
- We are required by NJ State Law to charge sales tax. There will be a line for the additional 6.625% on the wish list so you can factor that into any money you send to school with your student.
- Class shopping days will be on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 16 & 17, and the Book Fair will be open on Wednesday, Oct. 16 until 5:30 pm if you would like to come and shop with your student. No sign-ups are required.
- On the wish list, you will also see space to donate to your teachers’ wish list for the class, and to allow for volunteers to help with appropriate substitutions should a title be out of stock.
- Pre-orders are now available for the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid & Dog Man books. Orders can made on our Book Fair home page - https://www.scholastic.com/bf/johnsonparkelementaryschool2 Grown-ups enter FAIRSHIP for free shipping right to your doorstep. JP will earn 25% of every presale purchase to be used by the JP Literacy Fund for student and teacher books as well as visiting authors!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to react out directly!
With excitement for next week,
Jennifer Barthelemy & Lisa Robinson
Co-Chairs of the JP Literary Fund
