Volunteers Needed for SB Bookfair

South Bay will be having their annual Spring Book Fair March 17-21 and would like some parent volunteers to help during recess times. If you are interested and available please contact the office and ask for Allison Bronkall, our librarian. Thank you for supporting our students and their love or reading (and fancy erasers)!

South Bay Spring Scholastic Book Fair

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:

Dates: March 17-21

Location: South Bay Schools’ Library

Family Event: Open during Lunch on the Quad on Friday, March 21!

There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage:

https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/southbaychartersch

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.

You can also shop online from the website from March 17 through March 30. Every online purchase is 25% off and also directly benefits our school!

Hope to see you there!
