The Bookworm Central book fair is coming the week of October 21 for students during school hours. Students will have the opportunity to visit the fair to make a wish list from Monday Oct. 21 – Wednesday Oct. 23 with their class. We will also be open for one late night on Wednesday, October 23 from 4pm – 7:30 pm. If you are unable to make it to the family night, your child can purchase during their class’s assigned time. Your support of the school library program is greatly appreciated! Books can be purchased using cash, check (made out to Clermont Elementary PTA) or through an eWallet (this is DIFFERENT than Scholastic). For more information on the cashless option, eWallet, please visit the Bookworm website at www.bookwormcentral.com. Proceeds from the book fair support the improvement of the library collection and program.
Book Fair Volunteers Needed
Help is needed in preparing for the fair and throughout the week it is open. Please consider volunteering your time by helping to advertise, decorate, set up, work at the fair during school hours, work after school during our late night, and help to pack up.
Please feel free to sign up to volunteer for an hour, a couple of hours, or for the entire week. Whatever works for you! The book fair is a lot of fun and is one of our most popular volunteer opportunities. We appreciate your time and efforts!
