Volunteers needed for Scholastic Book Fair
We still need volunteers for this year’s Scholastic Book Fair (October 4th – 11th). Time slots vary from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Please consider helping as this fundraiser helps to build our library collection and foster an excitement for reading in our students. Please contact Mrs. Edmonds with any questions at bedmonds@svdpk8.com. Sign up here.
Please note that SVDP will not have a Barnes and Noble Book Fair this year. The B&N Book Fair has been for us both a fundraiser and a community event. In terms of the fundraiser aspect, it does not yield a sufficient return for the amount of volunteer time that is invested. From a community aspect, we believe that there are other signature SVDP events that allow us to gather socially as a community and we think you will not mind if we eliminate one of these events, especially in December!
