RIVERSIDE BOOK FAIR - Mid-week reminders!
Wed, Apr 9 9:35pm

The book fair is going strong. Huge thanks to all of our volunteers! 

If your child's class has not visited yet (or if you plan to come by during Heritage Night after the programs on stage), please be aware of the following guidelines based on lessons learned over the years: 

  • Each student receives one free book from the PTO. Students may also bring cash or a gift card (see below) to buy additional items. Details below.

  • If sending cash, please put it in an envelope or wallet. Kids often drop or misplace money/change. We do not recommend sending very large amounts of cash.

  • Students cannot lend money to a friend.

  • We have a smaller # of erasers, pens, and posters for sale this year with our new vendor. These will be out at Heritage Night. Some teachers explicitly ask us not to display those during their class visit as they can be distracting, and we try to steer students toward books as much as possible. Please be explicit with your child if you do not want them to buy those items.

----- Fwd:

The book fair begins this Monday, April 7, in the school library! Parents: here is what to expect and how to prepare: 

  • Every class will take a "field trip" to the fair to browse the selection during school hours. During that visit, each student will be able to choose one book to take home, free of charge provided by the PTO. 

  • Students are also able to purchase books for themselves, either through cash or via gift card. If you’d like to buy a gift card for your child, order it here. (It's not required, but you could print it out and send it to school with your child if it might help them remember!)  https://literati.com/store/riverside-elementary-school-princeton-nj?utm_source=referral

  • Parents can shop through Riverside’s online store, which includes some teacher and library wishlists, at https://literati.com/store/riverside-elementary-school-princeton-nj?utm_source=referral  

  • Parents are welcome to shop solo or with their children during these times: 

    • After school (3-4pm) Mon-Thurs

    • Before school (8-9am) Tues-Fri

    • During Heritage Night on Thurs April 10

Every purchase at the book fair, in person or online, benefits Riverside. Thank you for supporting Riverside’s fundraising goals and helping to expand our collection of library books, while promoting student reading of course!
