Elmont Book Fair

It's Time For The Annual Elmont Book Fair...
 
Mrs. Myers arranges our Book Fair every year.  She, along with a load of volunteers, pulls off an amazing week for us year after year.

We get to go the library and 'shop' at the beginning of the week.  We make out our Wish Lists and take them home to share with our families.  We even get to have a Family Night where we can bring our parents to shop too!
We go back down to the library later in the week to make our purchases.  It's like having a bookstore right inside our library!  The room is filled with books, books, books.!

During the week, we are encouraged to read for 30 minutes every night to build good reading habits for life.  Our parents sign off that we've completed our task and we turn in our little blue tickets for the drawing at the end of the week.  Our little red basket was SO full!


At the end of the week, we draw two winners from the basket.  Aydin was the lucky winner of a poster. Great pick, Aydin!


Jacquelyn was our lucky free book winner.  She was so super excited to hear her name drawn.  Wish you could have seen her face!  Congratulations, girls!
Thanks to Everyone who dropped a ticket in the basket to support our reading during this year's Book Fair.  It was another success!  :)
