round fundraising partner.

Scholastic Book Fair
Budgeted fundraising Goal:
$4,000
The Stratford Library sponsors a Book Fair each year
held to coincide with National Children’s Book Week. The Fair
gives students and their families the opportunity to shop for the
latest titles from Scholastic in the school library.
The library staff and PTA volunteers set up the
books to be sold, help all of the students come through and preview
the books and make “wish lists,” and help with three days of
sales. The proceeds of the Fair benefit our school library and
our reading room. The teachers also have the opportunity to
make a wish list for their classroom libraries, with books available
for purchase to benefit the teachers and their students.
