Book Fair

Each year, during the first full week of school, Mrs. McNeill (in conjunction with Scholastic Book Services) hosts a Book Fair for the children and families of St. Paul. The books were delivered yesterday, and (as you can see from the photo) it takes an amazing amount of work to put together the book fair. I vividly remember "Scholastic book order day" when I was a student at St. Gertrude School in St. Clair Shores. I was an avid reader, even in grade school, and the day those books arrived was always my favorite day at school. Although we didn't have a lot of money (I was the oldest of nine children, remember) my mom always seemed to be able to give me a couple of dollars to buy some books. I think I need to give Scholastic Books some of the credit for my academic successes - I'm still a fast, avid reader, and I don't go anywhere without a couple of books! I hope you'll stop by at least once to browse the Book Fair and support your children's recreational reading. The Book Fair will be open all week, as well as during Back to School Night. All profits from the Book Fair go directly to the St. Paul library program to purchase new books and magazines.
