Student Wish List
The Student Wish List on the back of the Junior flyer allows your child to list what books he/she would like, and then you can send your child to the Book Fair with the correct amount of money. Volunteers will help them find and purchase the books. The Senior flyer is also available for your perusal.
Family Event
On Thursday, November 14, the Book Fair is open to families from 6-8 pm (save the date). Come see the wide selection of books to purchase, including great ideas for birthday and holiday gifts, too!
We are also open Friday PD day from 9:00 – Noon.
We accept cash, cheques, all credit cards and even debit! Cheques are payable to Alta Vista School Council.
Classroom Wish List – A gift for the classroom
You can purchase books as a donation for your child’s classroom! Look for the Classroom Wish list display at the fair. Each teacher will have a list of books he/she would love to have in the classroom. Our volunteers can help you locate books. Every gift will be recognized: a bookplate will show the class that the book was donated and by whom.
