Wedgwood Families,

We are hoping to get§ the kids off to a great start on their summer reading while building our classroom libraries for next year during our first ever Scholastic Book Fair happening May 21 – 25 in the Wedgwood Gym. This is an excellent way to earn books and money for the Wedgwood library while at the same time helping teachers to get the books they will need for a challenging and well rounded class room library.

The Book Fair will be open throughout the week with extended evening hours the night of the Science Fair on May 23^rd.

Book Fair Hours are:

• Monday and Tuesday May 21 – 22: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
• Wednesday May 23: 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
• Thursday and Friday May 24 – 25: 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
  

Please check out the Teacher Wish List Board at the Book Fair to see which books your teachers have selected for their class rooms. This is an easy way to add some exciting books to the class as an end of the year appreciation gift and get your children excited about books for summer reading. Just find your teacher on the board, bring the book slip to the cashier, purchase the book and we can deliver the book for you with your gift slip for the teacher inside.

We are also looking for volunteers during the week long fair to help cashier, stock and assist students Take a look at the volunteer schedule on the bulletin board to see if there is a time slot that would work for you. This is a really fun event and a great way to boost reading enthusiasm right before the summer break.

Please contact Tina Hein if you have questions via email or phone, tmh362003@gmail.com or 206-579-3914. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Tina M. Hein
