Book fair begins Monday

The Fairfield Middle School will host a Scholastic book fair Monday through Nov. 8 in room 102. Throughout the week, all FMS students will have the opportunity to visit the book fair during reading or GOAL class. The book fair also is open each day before and after school.

From 4-7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, the book fair will be open during parent/teacher conferences. Parents and community members are invited to visit the book fair during this time.

FMS is participating in the ?One for Books? program during the book fair. Students and parents can donate loose change and bills to help raise money for the school library. Money raised will not only benefit the library, but will benefit national organizations, such as Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, Kids in Distressed Situations and the National Center for Family Literacy. Scholastic will match all money raised here for the national organizations.

Parents can contribute books to classroom libraries, too. A bookplate will be added to the inside front cover of every book donated to a classroom.
