Dear Parents and Families,
Shallowford Falls’ Fall Book Fair will be November 18-22, 2024. We are excited about our opportunity to share books and raise money for more library books!
From now until the end of our book fair, you can shop online at our school store! There are thousands of books and games online that will not be available at our in-person book fair. Some items are delivered directly to you, and others will be delivered to school. The online book fair also has digital gift cards for students and teachers. Please check it out, as we receive the same percentage from purchases online: https://efairs.literati.com/?school=shallowford-falls-elementary-school-marietta-ga
This year, we will have only books available at our in-person book fair, no posters, journals, pens, etc. It will be a change, but we are very excited about the books available! Plus, we hope it will be reassuring to know that all book fair money you send will be spent on books.
Family Night will be Tuesday, November 19th, in conjunction with the 4th grade musical performance. We will be open Tuesday from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the Book Fair will be open from 8:00 am until 3:00 pm. On Friday, we will close at noon.
Kindergarten and Fifth Grade Feast Days offer you an opportunity to have a meal with your child and to shop the book fair together! Kindergarten Feast Day will be on Tuesday, November 19th; Fifth Grade Feast Day will be on Wednesday, November 20th. Exact times will be shared by your child’s teacher.
If your child is in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade, you are welcome to come and shop with the class. Your child’s teacher will share the shopping days/times.
We need volunteers! If you’d like to help (especially during Family Night and Feast Days), please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090C45A5AB29AAF49-52589208-book. Book Fair Volunteers receive 20% off their in-person purchases.
The Book Fair accepts cash, debit cards, credit cards, checks (made out to SFES), Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay, and Literati Book Fair gift cards.
Profits from this fall’s book fair will go to purchasing new library books, our subscription to Book Flix and True Flix database platforms, and two new book carts.
Thank you for supporting the Shallowford Falls school library!
Many thanks & happy reading,
