What's Happening
BOOK CLUB ISSUE 4 REMINDER
Scholastic Book Club provides the convenience for parents to buy books for their children online instead of going out and shopping in stores. But the biggest advantage is for the rewards points you give the school to purchase new books and equipment for the school library.
Our library budget relies on these reward points and I hope it continues as strongly as it has in the past.
With our school library undergoing a new renovation, rewards points will be much appreciated. We will be able to buy new resources for the students. It will be lovely to be able to re-open the school library with new exciting books like the series of Captain Underpants replacing our old and tattered collection! It is a win win situation!
Issue 4 catalogue is out now and all students should have received a copy.
Buying books from Scholastic Book Club is a fantastic idea for all of the birthday parties your child is invited to, with hardcover books selling for as little as $3.00 (Chatterpuss by Josh Pyke)
All orders are to be done online using the LOOP system and there is an option of using the GIFT option if it is a secret . Shhh!
Book Club closes on Friday 10 June and orders will be delivered to your child’s classroom in the last week of term.
Thank you in advance for supporting Book Club and our library.
