Scholastic Book Fair is Coming to St Heliers School

In Week 9 of this term [23-27 June] we are having a book week. Various activities will be happening all week around the school.

Scholastics will be here with a large selection of books for sale, the book fair is like having an exciting bookstore come into school! Hosting a book fair is a way to bring students, teachers, families and communities together to celebrate reading and raise funds for the school. A percentage of all sales comes directly back to the school enabling the purchase of more books for the library and resource room. All children will get the opportunity to visit the book fair with their classes and make a wish list of books that they like.

Books will be available for sale in the dance and drama room on Mon 23-Fri 27 June between 8:30am -9:15am, Mon 23, Tues 24, Thursday 26 between 2:30pm - 3:15pm and Wednesday 25 June between 12pm-8:00pm, during the student-led conferences. 

Also on Thursday we will be hosting a special day for our Grandparents where the bookshop will be open all morning until 11.10am and Grandparents are invited to watch our Book Character dress up parade at 9am, spend some time in their grandchildren's classrooms and enjoy a light refreshment.  

A flyer with these details will come home with all students towards the end of this term. 

The book fair will only be a success with the support of the school community. Volunteers will be needed to help run the book sales and Grandparents morning tea. Please see the email sent out earlier this week requesting for helpers!

For more details please check out the posters that will be up around the  school towards the end of  the term and look out for the leaflets that will be sent home with your child.
