Book Fair -- May 5-9

Get Ready for Summer Reading With Balboa's 2014 Book Fair

Picture
Summer is coming up and where else can you purchase books to read during those long, lazy days than at the 2014 Book Fair, to be held in the Balboa Library from May 5-9. There will be many new easy readers, chapter books, novels, science books, classics, and even a grown-up section -- all offered at 20% off the cover price! The fair will be open for in the mornings (starting Tuesday) recess, lunch and after school for the children. Parents, however, can feel free to stop by anytime in between. 

During the week, the traditional "Donuts with Dads" will be on Tuesday morning, "Snacks and Drinks" will be featured Wednesday afternoon, and on Thursday night, you can buy books during Open House. Along with these special events, we will hold a raffle each day. Every child who purchases a book can enter his or her name in that day's drawing.  At the end of the day, the names of three students will be picked to choose something from the prize box.

Parents: If you haven't yet volunteered at school this year, this is a perfect opportunity to help out at the final school event.  The ship can not steer itself without its sailors! Signup to help at left.

If you have any questions about the Book Fair, please contact Chairs Christina Yu at clokming@hotmail.com or Emily Noro at emgood29@yahoo.com.
