AE/MS Fall Book Fair Gets Kids Excited About Reading

October 21 to 25, with Family Night on the 24th

By Kristine Lane, AE/MS

The Andover Elementary/Middle School will be having its Fall Book Fair on Monday, October 21 through Friday, October 25 this year. Book fairs are a wonderful way to help children get excited about reading by giving them the opportunity to choose reading materials they are interested in to add to their own home library.

The book fair will be open during school hours for students to browse or purchase books. In addition, Family Night will be held on Thursday, October 24, from 5 to 7:30 PM to coincide with AE/MS Math Night, a great time for families to spend a fun evening at the school.

In addition to family night, our school will have an online Book Fair shopping site which will be open from Thursday, October 24 through Wednesday, November 13. This is a wonderful way for parents (or grandparents, or anyone else looking for a special gift) to shop for books just right for their child’s reading level and interests. Children may create their own Wish List and post it on the site to make shopping for relatives easy. The holidays are coming!

The Web site has an expanded selection of books for all ages, from pre-school to adult, and shipping is free to AE/MS for pick up. All purchases at the Book Fair or online will benefit our school, helping us earn money to build the collection in our library.

To visit the online Book Fair, go to Scholastic.com/Fair starting October 24 and click on the Find a Fair tab to locate our fair.

We hope to see you at the Book Fair!
