The Perry Elementary School and Junior High School libraries will both host their Scholastic Fall Book Fair Week from Monday, November 7 through Friday, November 11.
The elementary Book Fair will take place in the lower elementary library between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Students in Pre-K through 6th grade will get to visit the Book Fair throughout the week. In addition to Book Fair shopping each day, students and their families are encouraged to attend Family Night on the evening of Thursday, November 10 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the lower elementary gym. There will be dinner and bingo for the whole family to enjoy. The pulled pork meal is $5 per person and bingo cards are $1 each or 6 for $5. The Perry Parents and Teachers (PPT) organization volunteers are hosting the family night activities.
Cash, check or credit card are accepted for Book Fair purchases. Checks should be made payable to Perry Elementary School. New this year, sales tax will be collected on all Book Fair purchases.
The Book Fair also has a digital payment option, the eWallet, which allows students to have a safe and secure method of paying, if you don’t want to send cash to school. Parents and guardians can set up an account and have funds immediately available for your child to shop at the Book Fair. Friends and family can also contribute to your child’s account.
