 Plan Your Visit to the Arctic Adventure Book Fair Dear Parents, Every September, the PTO hosts a Scholastic Book Fair to raise money for West El. For every dollar spent on books at the fair, the PTO receives approximately 25% of the profit. In addition to the fundraising dollars this fair raises, it also generates excitement among the kids about finding books that appeal to them! We hope you’ll find time to visit the fair during your Open House times or with your child during any hour (daytime or evening) we’re open for business. In addition to the books, you can find the following at our fair: Teacher’s Wish Lists. Teachers select books for their classroom libraries which you can purchase and dedicate to the class from your child. Come visit this section at the fair. Poster and Book Basket Raffles! Purchase a $1 raffle ticket for a chance to win a basket of popular book fair books or a poster of your child’s choice. Volunteers Needed This event requires a lot of volunteers to be successful. Volunteering at events like this help you to connect with other West El parents.
