Scholastic Book Fair Returns To PS8
May 2nd & 3rd
The Scholastic Book Fair is a special reading event that is held in schools throughout the country where kids and families get to shop for their very own books. It's like a mini-bookstore, only much better. And every book has been hand-selected, reviewed and approved by reading specialists. See more details here.
Here are five reasons not to miss the Book Fair at PS8 on May 2nd and 3rd:
- You can shop from hundreds of quality books in every price range, interest, and reading level.
- You'll find exclusive, more affordable editions of many of the most popular books sold in retail stores
- You'll help your child's school earn books and funds for classrooms and libraries.
- You'll connect with your child's school reading and literacy initiatives.
- And best of all, you and your child will have fun choosing books together.
Here's the program of events for PS8's Scholastic book fair.
- Friday, May 2: an all day sale the children will be able to visit during the day, and then it will be opened to parents at 3 p.m.
- Saturday from noon to 4:00: the book fair will also be open to the public.
The book fair raises funds for the school in two ways. One is that the PTA gets a portion of each sale either in cash or credits for books. Also we incorporate a wish list for all the teachers and the librarian. Parents can purchase books from the wish lists and their children will benefit by having the books available at school either in their class or in the PS8 library.
Please come join the book fair - and bring other families with you too.
