Our fall book fair was a huge success! We sold $16,811.75 worth of books and gave away $9,475.46 worth of books. That’s $21,549.48 worth of books into the hands of our students, their families, AND our staff. Almost 1,000 free books! One... thousand. WOW! Beautiful work, everyone!
All 950+ Longfellow students received one free book thanks to our PTA "Read at Home" program – which is mostly funded by our Book Fair – so your dollars make an immediate, big impact on our campus! This year students also received a free bookmark tucked into their books. We hope your kiddos enjoy them all!
Our Spring book fair is scheduled for May 6-10, 2024 – and yes, we will be open during Open House on Thursday May 9th! We are planning some new and really fun ramp-up events leading up to, as well as during book fair week. Things like Staff Wish Lists, Book Recommendations for Lions by Lions (student book recommendations per grade), Guest Read Alouds, and something like a "Books & Breakfast" where families are invited onto campus for coffee, pastries, community... and book fair shopping!
Please stay tuned. We will work hard to get the word out about book fair, the RAH program, e-wallets, and events sooner and through more communications channels so all families feel informed, included, and warmly invited. Thank you!
Any questions, feedback, or want to get involved with Book Fair or Read at Home?
