Scholastic Book Fair 2025
Last week, St Margaret Mary’s hosted our annual Scholastic Book Fair - and this year was one of our most successful yet!A heartfelt thank you to all the fathers who came along on Thursday, generously purchasing books for their children and showing wonderful support for our school.
Each year, Scholastic provides a percentage of the funds raised for us to reinvest into our learning spaces. This year, we’ve selected a small collection of books from the fair to add to our classrooms and library. In addition, we’ve earned over $700 in Scholastic rewards, which will be used to purchase further resources to support student learning.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s fair. Your support helps nurture a love of reading and inspires the future authors and illustrators of St Margaret Mary’s.
As Walt Disney once said, “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.”
