Do you want to support books and reading for all students and families? Do you want to help build classroom collections and raise money for the media center? Are you looking for a way to get more involved without taking on a full school event? We are starting to plan the Oakwood Book Fair and we need Book Fair planning committee members. This year's theme is "Enchanted Forest". Our first meeting will be scheduled for mid-October. The Book Fair is December 3-7. You can choose your level of involvement. Here are a few of the responsibilities:
- Coordinate volunteers
- Coordinate class visits
- Reading Challenge and classroom book talks
- Teacher Wish List and Teacher Preview
- Family Service Night fun
- General Promotions
We will contact you soon to schedule the first meeting. If you have any questions, please email bookfair@oakwoodpta.org.
