Scholastic Book Fair
 A huge "Thank You" to Christine Babey and Dana Stansbery for co-chairing this years Scholastic Book Fair at DCES. Christine and Dana spent countless hours planning and coordinating this years event and they did an amazing job!! Thank you to all of the families who visited the Book Fair with their children and to everyone who came out for Family Night and Donuts for Dads. This years Book Fair was a tremendous success!!
Based on sales from our book fair, Scholastic will give DCES a certain percentage in book credit (approximately 45%). Based on the amount available, DCES teachers receive a certain allotment to spend at the book fair to help build their classroom libraries. The library and other faculty also receive allotments as appropriate.
"Thank You" for all of the donations that were made to Scholastics "All for Books program" (formerly known as One for Books). For every $1 donated, Scholastic will match the donation for our school AND donate up to one million books to three non-profit organizations. |
