Dear Parents and Families,

The Scholastic Book Fair will be arriving with loads of great books here at Courreges School on Monday, May 21 through Friday, May 25. As a special treat to our families and teachers we are offering a "Buy One Get One Free" fair. You'll get twice the amount of books for half the price!

Attached is a Book Fair book list, which highlights just a few of the books available. Every student will visit the fair during the school day sometime next week, and we hope you’ll also stop by to see our great selection of books. Volunteers will be there to help the children, and they can make their purchases with cash or checks made out to Courreges PTA. Adults can also pay by credit card.
There will be great finds for all ages!

This Is A Great Opportunity To:

1. Get our students excited about reading all summer long.

2. Purchase end of the year thank-you gifts. Teachers have submitted “WISH LIST BOXES” filled
   with books that will enrich their classroom libraries. When you visit the fair, you can purchase
   one or more books to donate. Each donated book will be recognized with a book plate
   identifying your child or family as the donor.

3. Buy BOOK GIFT CERTIFICATES. You may purchase them in any amount and give them
   to teachers. The teachers can then come to the fair and spend these like cash. In the past,
   parents have found the teacher’s “Wish List Boxes” empty, so this is another way to donate
   to the classrooms.

4. Buy BEST PAW FORWARD books.

The Book Fair is located on the stage in the multipurpose room and will be open daily from
8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. except Thursday and Friday when it will close at 1:00 p.m.
We will also have a special time for families to shop during OPEN HOUSE NIGHT on
Thursday May 25th from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

So come and load up on some great books for summer with DOUBLE the savings.

We Hope To See You There!

Sincerely,
Marcela Curtiss & Melissa Bernardin, Book Fair Chairpersons

Please stop the “Spring Bookfair” from becoming an endangered specie!

The PTA is looking for a Bookfair Co-Chair! We have already had one “Courreges” parent step up to the task, now we are looking for another!  Please remember, the bookfair brings books into the library, into your child’s classroom, and most importantly into your home!  The bookfair also works in conjunction with our Best Paw Program.  The Best Paw raffle winners receive “Cougar Bucks” that can be used at the bookfair. Last year we had over 100 winners, including a grand prize of $25.00 worth of cougar bucks!  Please don’t let the Bookfair become “extinct”.  If we are unable to find a co-chair for this committee, we will be forced to eliminate the bookfair this Spring.

Dear Parents and Families,
Word is spreading that the Scholastic Book Fair will soon be arriving with loads of great books here at Courreges School on Monday, September 25th through Friday, September 29th.  Our “Reading Rainforest” theme should be lots of fun for our students.

Attached is a Book Fair book list, which highlights just a few of the books available.  Every student will visit the fair with their class sometime next week, and we hope you’ll also stop by to see our
great selection of books. Volunteers will be there to help the children, and they can make their purchases with cash or checks made out to Courreges PTA.  Adults can also pay by credit card. There will be treasures for all ages!

This Is A Great Opportunity To:

1. Purchase BEST PAW FORWARD books to get off to a great start on this year’s program.

2. Donate new books to your child’s class. Teachers have submitted “WISH LIST BOXES” filled with books that will enrich their classroom libraries. When you visit the fair, you can purchase one or more to donate.  Each donated book will be recognized with a book plate identifying your child or family as the donor.

3. Buy BOOK GIFT CERTIFICATES. You may purchase them in any amount and give them to teachers.  The teachers can then come to the fair and spend these like cash. In the past, parents have found the teacher’s “Wish List Boxes” empty, so this is another way to donate to the classrooms.

8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. except Thursday and Friday when it will close at 1:00 p.m.
We will also have a special time for families to shop during BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
on Thursday September 28th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

And don’t forget...every purchase benefits our school directly by supporting field trips,
our computer lab, assemblies, classroom enhancements and more!

We hope to see you there.

Sincerely,
Christine Rolfe and Peggy Pocher, Book Fair Chairpersons
