As the Scholastic Book Fair Chairperson
for my child's school,

I wanted to volunteer for this position because a) I love children's
books, and b) I have experience working in the publishing industry. 

Plus... I see my child at school and sneak in a hug or a high-five!

 

The book fair is a big job.  It requires a lot of planning and timely
marketing via:
 

• flyers

• website announcement

• emails

• and social media campaigns

​

It also entails:

​

• set-up

• breakdown

• decorating

• and reordering books

 

Honestly, it takes a team of people to make it a success.  Fortunately, I have a wonderful and dedicated group of parents I work with that make this possible. I would like to publicly thank Heather Ellis, Katie Cote, and Allison Skoczenski for all their support.

Since taking over as chairperson:

​

​

• We have sought monetary donations outside the school community to ensure that children most in need go home with books. 

• We have elevated the book fair to a community event by involving the city fire department, police department, librarians, local politicians & school board to show their support for early childhood literacy.

• We have donated $1000.00 Scholastic Dollars to each grade level in the school for new book purchases in the classrooms.

• We have donated $1000.00 Scholastic Dollars to the school library for new books and equipment.
