Dexter, Missouri - Each year the annual PTO Book Fair is held in late January to early February and students get an opportunity to shop for books from the Scholastic Book Company.

This year was the biggest yet with a record amount of proceeds going back into Southwest Elementary, Central Elementary and T.S. Hill Middle School Libraries.

PTO parents help at the Book Fairs and assist the students, run the cash registers, and try to make it an educational and enjoyable shopping experience.

Each school library will receive almost $1,900 to purchase books and supplies for their respective library.
