What It Is

The Book Fair is an annual PTO fundraiser held in the Large Group Room in Mid-October. We work with Scholastic Books to provide an array of books that appeal to all readers. All purchases are completely voluntary and proceeds from the Book Fair benefit the New Eagle PTO and its various functions in support of our school.

Volunteers are needed to make this fundraiser a success! We are looking for volunteers to set up, to ring purchases/ write gift certificates during class visits and assist with Fair take down. We have MANY short shifts available to fill and we need YOUR help! Please visit the Sign Up Sheets page for more information and to sign up to volunteer!

How It Works

This book fair is “cash and carry”. Each child will visit the Book Fair with his or her class. Book purchases can be made at that time or any other time when the Fair is open. If your child will be making purchases, please send enough money for any books plus 6% tax! As in past years, we will also be selling gift certificates for our teachers at the Fair. These must be used by the teachers during the Fair, and are always greatly appreciated. Gift certificates are a nice way to say thank you to our teachers for the great job they are doing, and to help update and improve their classroom libraries. Class visit times will be communicated the week before the Fair.

Annual Spirit Day Challenge

Got some spare change at home? Please consider donating it to the All for Books program at the Fair through our Annual Spirit Day Challenge. The children will have the opportunity to vote for the theme of the November Spirit Day. Contributions will result in more books for our library, count towards our Book Fair profit and are matched by Scholastic for book donations to two national charities.
