Preview days for students will be Tuesday, Nov. 24th and Monday, Nov. 30th. All students will fill out a "Wish List" listing the books they would like. The Book Fair will be open to parents and students on the days & times listed below. If you are shopping during the school day, your child will be unable to join you.

If you send money with your child, please make sure all money is in a sealed envelope. If sending a check, please make sure it is made out to Anderson’s Bookfair Company. We look forward to seeing you. Also, remember to factor in taxes for purchase and send a little more than what the books cost. All proceeds from the book fair will be used to purchase additional materials for the LMC. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Book Fair Teacher Wish Lists
In response to parent requests, “Teacher Wish Lists” will be available. Look for the big bulletin board in the LMC for teacher wish list items. A special sticker will be put in all “Teacher Wish List” books to say thank you for supporting reading in the classroom.
