HFCS to Host Book Fair Event on June 2nd
Hoosick Falls Central School will host a Scholastic Book Fair and ice cream social on June 2, 2010 from 6pm to 8pm in the elementary cafeteria. The annual event hosted by the PTA is to increase literacy among students and raise funds to purchase books for the elementary school library. Families, teachers, and the community are invited to attend the Book Fair, featuring a fun theme: Book Fair Diner: All You Can Read!
The Book Fair will offer specially priced books and educational products including new releases, award-winning titles, children’s classics, interactive software, adult books, and current bestsellers from more than 100 publishers. Book Fair customers may help the school build classroom libraries and improve children’s reading skills by purchasing books through the Classroom Wish List and donating loose change to the One for Books® programs.
