Scholastic Book Fair

Reading Oasis

October 24 - November 1, 2013

Much thanks to our two parent volunteers Tracy Dixon and Staci Markwardt for once again decorating the library for our book fair!  As always they did a wonderful job and all of it helps get everyone in the mood to enjoy purchasing lots of great stuff at the fair. 

To top everything off, Mrs. Alicia Ellis, one of our wonderful paras, dug into her costume closet and dressed in costume to advertise during crosswalk duty for the evening Family Night on October 24th.  She was also a wonderful "greeter" for all of our families who came and many of the students enjoyed picture taking with Mrs. Ellis before entering and after exiting the book fair.  Thanks again Alicia for helping out!

In addition to wonderful books on sale, a student will be able to win a $5 gift certificate to spend at the book fair if they guess closest to the correct number of pages in a book that is "mummied" (wrapped in toilet paper). Good Luck Roos!  Hope you are the one who wins!

Lunch with a Loved One is Tuesday, Oct. 29th (for last names beginning A - L) & Wednesday, Oct. 30th (for last names beginning M-Z).  We hope to see all of our families out to enjoy lunch and browse the book fair.

Please visit our Crockett Book Fair homepage.  If you can't make it to the fair, you can shop online by going to this site Online Book Fair 10/23 - 11/12.

Parting Gift

I would like to thank all of the students along with their families who participated in our first Crockett Library Storybook Character Pumpkin Patch.  They were all so well done and one dad commented that he thoroughly enjoyed making this a family project and hopes we will do this again next year.  We had a total of 49 pumpkins in our Pumpkin Patch and each participant received a special pumpkin book mark like this one from Oriental Trading.

During the week of October 15th, students are bringing in decorated pumpkins for the Crockett Library Storybook Character Pumpkin display.  This idea was courtesy of Cari Young's blog and the inspiration from fellow librarian Shawna Ford.  See if you can figure out some of the pumpkin characters below.  We are having a great time in the Crockett Library seeing all of the creative ideas that have been put into decorating these pumpkins!
