Scholastic Book Fair

Its that time again! Our reading fair will be held from Monday 11th May – Friday 15th May.

It will be held in our Multi-Purpose Room before and after school. From 8:45-9:05am in the morning and then again in the afternoons from 3:20-3:40pm.

Access, Choice and Practice are the key elements to help children achieve reading success and become capable, confident readers. We learn to read and then we read to learn. Helping every child become a proficient reader is critical to their future but helping children to love reading is a gift they can benefit from every day of their lives.

We are also looking for parent helpers to volunteer to help run our store. Please contact our school office if you are able to volunteer! Please note that a valid WWCC is required.

When Practice is Fun, Reading Comes Easy.
