Midway Scholastic Book Fair, 2023

Best sellers, new titles and soooo many fuzzy journals!

I’ve been planning and tinkering with print and video promotional materials every day for the big reveal of the gorgeous layout Scholastic is famous for providing. The staff helped with planning the teacher/student previews and PTO volunteers showed up on Friday to help move and organize the library space and help display the goods which was so generous and amazing.

“Mom! I HAVE to have this right now. No, THIS one, oh it’s so cuuuute”

~ Every child present while their parents helped set up the book fair.

The most fun part of the “pre-show” was the student involvement! A group of Shark Council members got a first look and helped prioritize which books to feature (based on their enthusiasm) and just generally promote coming to the fair this week.

Monday November 6 will be a student preview/Wish List creation day (there will be cash registers for kids at lunch recess who come financially prepared on Monday) Afterschool will begin the first public sale slot.

Tuesday November 7 we will be open 8am-9am, lunch recess and afterschool from 3:20-4.

Wednesday, our schoolwide Grandparent’s Day will be the biggest day for shopping, starting at 8am. This will allow grandarents to shop beforehand, as the breakfast doesn’t begin until 8:30am. The shopping will continue until 9:40 am (as it is late start day) and we will stay open until 6pm that night.

Thursday is the last day, opening 8a-9a and 3:20-4pm. Students with an ewallet will help the flow of traffic tremendously. We hope you come, shop and enjoy!
