Dear Parents and Families:
Reading for pleasure inside and outside
of school has real and long-lasting benefits. It unlocks the power of
information and imagination and helps kids discover who they are. Our
Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that brings the books that kids want to
read right to them and our school. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and
affordable books for every reading level.
Please make plans to visit our Book Fair
and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits during one of the
following days:
Monday, February 6th - 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM
Tuesday, February 7th - 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM (during
conferences)
Wednesday, February 8th – 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM
Thursday, February 9th - 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM
(during conferences)
Friday, February 10th - 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM
Before you visit the Book Fair, download
the Book Fairs app to help you find the right books for your child. Visit our own Portage Central Middle School
Book Fair website at http://www.scholastic.com/bf/portagecentralmiddleschool for more information. There, you will find download
links, tutorials of how to use the app, information on how your child can make
a wish list that can be sent to you via email, and more!
If you are unable to attend the Fair in
person, we invite you to visit our online Book Fair. Our online Fair is
available from January 30th to February 14th. Books
bought online can be shipped and delivered to CMS for free! Visit our CMS Book
Fair website for a direct link to our online fair at http://www.scholastic.com/bf/portagecentralmiddleschool.
Lastly, the WEB leaders and I are running a candygram
fundraiser from January 30th through February 8th. Students are helping to sell, make, and deliver all candygrams. All
proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards Scholastic’s “All for Books”
campaign, which provides books to kids in need to help promote literacy and a
love of reading. The students have set a goal of $250 to benefit kids who need books! Donation boxes will be available during conferences if you'd like to give to the fundraiser.
We look forward to seeing you and your
family at our Book Fair! Remember, all purchases benefit our school.
Sincerely,
Lexie Frank
CMS Media Secretary
