We had a most successful celebration of reading on Thursday. 

Thank you to all the parents, friends, staff and students who took part in some way to make our celebration of reading such a success!!

I was able to select just over $2000 worth of books, that the children had suggested, with the commission. These books will be added to our current selection in the library as soon as we can get them processed and ready for reading!!

Announcing the 2011 SBPS Bookfair!!!

Our annual Book Fair is coming up on Thursday 26th May.This is a great way to provide more stimulating books for your children to read and a great way to highlight and celebrate the joy of reading!

This year the theme is:

Lights, Camera, BOOKFAIR!

Parents and family are welcome to join their children for recess and then a brief book sharing time in the classroom.

2010 Book Character Parade was fun!!

The "Be Well Read" Bookfair was also very successful. 

Thank you everyone who supported our students.
We sold over $6500 worth of books which gives our students well over $2300 worth of great new books for their library.

Our hall is ready- Very REDdy!! BE WELL READ Bookfair begins.

Many thanks to the parents, teachers and students that helped to make the hall look like a very special place to visit.

All of the students will get the opportunity to browse the books before Thursday and make decisions about any they might like to purchase. We also encourage all students from Kinders to Year 6 to make recommendations about the books they would like to have included in their school library collection. It is really important that we include the books in the library that are interesting to our students. Our annual bookfair provides this opportunity.

It was great to hear one students asking for a particular books for his Grandma because it was her birthday soon. I am sure that she would appreciate his thoughtfulness and enjoy a book for her present.

We are allowed 35% of our sales back in commission which allows us to select many, and often most of the books the students recommend. We look forward to your company on Thursday 27 May- Public Education Day.

The Scholastic truck is due this Friday!!

Have a look at last years Bookfair and:

Let's make this years even better!

A big thank you to all the people young and old, who supported our Bookfair!
