It may have been cold and wet outside Thursday evening, but inside Central Elementary School, the action things were busy, hectic and a little warm for the Parent Night opening the annual Scholastic Book Fair.
Parents and students flocked to Central, as well as Southwest Elementary, for the Parent Night to kick off the annual book fair. The thee for Book Fair this year is “Book Fair Luau – It’s A Reading Celebration!” From “Dewey the Library Cat” to cookbooks to the tale of four little girls in “Shoe-La-La” to a book on America by Callista Gingrich, wife of the Presidential candidate – hundreds of books were just ready for new readers.
The Books Fairs in the Dexter schools will be held through Feb. 6 at Southwest, Central and Middle schools and are administered by each building’s PTO. Proceeds will be used to purchase library materials in the schools.
Each year Scholastic Book Fairs, in partnership with schools across the country, hosts more than 120,000 book-sale events that give more than 35 million students and their families access to thousands of affordable and educational products, helping foster a lifelong love of reading.
