BOOK FAIR INFORMATION:
During goal setting conferences next week, Ms Nikon is running a Book Fair to raise funds for Hudson’s library. This is to supplement her tiny annual budget for the library, barely allowing her to replace books that get worn out or outdated each year. And she has books in French and English to buy! The Scholastic company offers commission either in books or cash for total sales at the fair.
Parent volunteers are helping out because this school/teacher-driven fundraiser takes a lot of time and work. In fact, Ms Nikon would welcome any parent(s) who are willing to be in charge of running this Book Fair annually, with her help. As you come and peruse the selection of books, think about whether you or you and some other parents may be able to team up and help out in the future. (Feel free to contact Chantal at minten@novuscom.net if you are interested in getting more information about doing this.)
